Three-time Group One-winning sprinter Perfect Power has been retired to stud.
The Richard Fahey-trained star – owned by Sheikh Rashid bin Dalmook Al Maktoum – will stand at Darley’s Dalham Hall Stud next year.
The son of Ardad, who flew home to win the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot last year before going on to claim the Prix Morny and Middle Park as a two-year-old, signs off having won six of his 12 career starts, including this year’s Commonwealth Cup back at Royal Ascot.
He struck up a successful partnership with leading French rider Christophe Soumillon, who steered the horse to each of his three Group One triumphs.
Soumillon was suspended for Perfect Power’s final start, where he finished seventh in the Qipco Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot last weekend.
