PROFILE

​

EUROPE'S CHAMPION FIRST AND SECOND-CROP SIRE OF 2020 AND 2021

​

SIRE OF A RECORD NUMBER OF 2YO WINNERS IN 2024

 

Mehmas was a top class two-year-old.

 

He won four races as a juvenile and was never out of the first three in all of his starts.

​

His first two wins were followed by victories in Gr.2 Richmond Stakes (6f), beating Gr.1 winner Blue Point, and the Gr.2 July Stakes (6f).

​​​

He was a trainer's horse, and won the admiration of his handler Richard Hannon by showing his class, toughness and a willing attitude every time he ran.

​

He has made an electric start to his career at stud with the likes of the Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes and Gr.2 Richmond Stakes winner SUPREMACY, top Gr. 1-winning filly GOING GLOBAL, G1-winning miler CHEZ PIERRE, and back-to-back Gr. 2 Gimcrack Stakes winners MINZAAL (later winner of the G1 Betfair Sprint Cup as a 4yo) and LUSAIL, alongside other top-class 2yos CATURRA and PERSIAN FORCE.

​

PERSIAN FORCE now stands alongside his sire at Tally-Ho Stud.

​

He is enjoying another phenomenal season in 2024 as the sire of over 50 2yo winners  - and counting! - including the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes winner SCORTHY CHAMP, G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner MAGNUM FORCE, G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine VERTICAL LADY and G2 Flying Childers Stakes hero AESTERIUS.

​

Mehmas is a brilliant source of 2yos but it is also worth noting that G1 winners CHEZ PIERRE, GOING GLOBAL and MINZAAL have been best as older horses.

 

Not just a turf sire, Mehmas has also been represented by a multiple stakes-winning sprinter on dirt in COLOUR UP.
