New Approach to stand at Dalham Hall Stud

NEW APPROACH (Galileo [Ire]) will

retire to

Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket, Darley announced Sunday. A fee has yet to be

decided for

the five-time Group 1 winner, who capped a sterling career with a six-length

success in Saturday's Champion S. (Eng-G1) at Newmarket. That was also the scene

of his victory in last year's

Dewhurst S. (Eng-G1), a victory that followed wins in the Tyros S. (Ire-G3), Futurity S.

(Ire-G2) and

National

S. (Ire-G1).

Runner-up in both the English (Eng-G1) and Irish (Ire-G1) Two Thousand Guineas in May, the chestnut

son of dual

champion Park Express (Ire) (Ahonoora) returned to his winning ways in the Epsom Derby

(Eng-G1) the

following month

before being pulled out of the Irish equivalent at the 11th hour through injury.

Third in his

return in the International (Eng-G1) staged at Newmarket in August, he

carried Princess

Haya of Jordan's green silks to success again in last month's Irish Champion

S. (Ire-G1) at

Leopardstown before his rousing finale.

In winning Newmarket's Champion in track-record

time, he

became the only horse in the last 100 years to follow up in that contest after

winning the

Dewhurst and Derby. Following that performance, trainer Jim Bolger paid tribute.

"He is the

finest horse I have trained," he said. "To win a Group 1 race and still have

something in the

tank is just unbelievable. I am very lucky to have had a horse like him pass

through my hands.

It was a huge day when we went to Epsom -- to have kept everything together that

day was a

great achievement."

"It was a dream come true to

win the

Derby, and everybody who has had anything to do with New Approach has been part

of that

dream," Princess Haya of Jordan added. "Jim (Bolger) and all his team, the whole Bolger family and the stables,

they have all

been wonderful to us throughout. It is people who really make it special along

the way."

New

Approach joins fellow National and Dewhurst winner and juvenile champion

Teofilo under the Darley banner, and retires as the winner

of eight of his 11

starts.
