Presentation

FROM PATHFINDERS TO FIREPOWER

A regular feature in the top 15 of French jumps sires, Karaktar welcomed new ambassadors in 2025 to continue spreading his message. This delegation of black-type performers is composed of: Kashs (Gr.2 steeplechase at Pisa), Jagwar (Gr.3 steeplechase at Cheltenham), Lancier (2nd Gr.3 Prix Questarabad), Maharaja (3rd Listed Prix des Platanes) and Lucky d’Aubrelle (3rd Listed Prix Le Touquet), and can be extended to include several talented winners, notably at Auteuil, such as Miki Billy, Levoilatiep, Kenito, Le Bon Samaritain and Incollable. And of course, not forgetting the champion Il Est Français, winner of the Gr.1 Prix Renaud du Vivier, Gr.3 Prix Juigné and second in the Gr.1 King George VI Chase, who was exported to Britain during 2025. Karaktar is regularly in the news, both on the racecourse and also in the Arqana ring, where his promising son Merci Mam earned a bid of 520,000€ at the Autumn Sale after an impressive winning debut over hurdles at Lyon-Parilly. All these results were achieved by Karaktar's pathfinders, representatives of the small crops produced before his arrival in Cercy. The stallion's firepower will increase even further in coming seasons with the generations conceived in 2022 (141 broodmares covered), 2023 (245 mares) and 2024 (208 mares). The Aga Khan Studs-bred continuator of the legendary Sadler's Wells, via High Chaparral, is one whose notoriety will continue to grow.

The new cavalry which he has created is now called to arms and will be a force to be reckoned with in elite jumping ranks
