Lane's End Farm has purchased a majority interest in Noble Mission, and will

stand him in association with Juddmonte Farms in 2015 at Lane's End in

Versailles, Kentucky.

A three time Group 1 winner, Noble Mission, most recently capped off an

exceptional career with a win in the Champion Stakes at Ascot, reminiscent of

his full brother Frankel two years ago. An outstanding 2014 for Juddmonte Farms

and Lady Cecil was highlighted by wins in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Grand

Prix de Saint-Cloud, the latter via disqualification.

"Juddmonte Farms has been an extraordinary breeding and racing operation over

the years, and we're thrilled to be a part of this horse," commented Lane's End

owner Will Farish. "Many of the world's best stallions are in Europe and we feel

the need to revert to the days of importing top class European horses to stand

in America. We're confident he can add to the long list of influential stallions

like *Nasrullah, Roberto, Nureyev, Lyphard, Kingmambo, etc. to become a

successful stallion here."

A homebred for Juddmonte and trained by the late Sir Henry Cecil and Lady

Cecil, Noble Mission is out of the Danehill mare Kind, being a full brother to

one of the greatest horses of all time, Frankel. Noble Mission's sire Galileo

currently sits atop the general sire list and continues to make his mark on the

industry as the world's top sire.

"Noble Mission was a thrill for all of us at Juddmonte and of course Lady

Cecil," Juddmonte racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe said. "He's one of the best in

his division and has ensured his place at stud. Lane's End expressed a strong

interest in the horse and the Prince (Khalid Abdulla) was happy to go on and

stand him in America. We look forward to supporting him."

Noble Mission will be available for inspection sometime in early December

upon arriving in the U.S.
