TELESCOPE (IRE) B 2010 Galileo –Velouette (Darshaan)

Telescope has been hugely popular since retiring to Shade Oaks Stud in 2016 and, having covered a book of 115 mares in 2018, that number shot up to 182 last year. The son of Galileo was bred by Barronstown Stud and is out of Velouette, an unraced Darshaan half-sister to Gr.1 winner and sire Moon Ballad (). As a racehorse, Telescope was unfortunate to be of the same vintage as the brilliant Australia Will Kinsey of Peel Bloodstock, who is standing his first (Galileo) and Taghrooda (Sea The Stars), who beat him the Gr.1 stallion at Peel Hall this season, with the Gr.1-winning International Stakes and the Gr.1 King George VI and Queen jumper Frammassone. © Ce Elizabeth Stakes respectively, though he was a high-class performer in his own right, winning the Gr.2 Great KINSEY ENTERS Stakes at three and the Gr.2 Hardwicke Stakes the following season. STALLION MARKET AT PEEL HALL Standing: Shade Oak Stud, Fee: £3,500 Will Kinsey of Peel Bloodstock is about to stand his first stallion, Frammassone, who is among the 16 stallions on show at Doncaster today, writes Carl Evans. Based at Peel Hall in Cheshire, former amateur rider Kinsey will stand the 15-year-old, a son of Fraam who has been standing at Paddy Byrne’s Park House Stud in Ireland, and whose oldest crop are six-year-olds. Two of his best foals hail from that first crop, namely Cedar Hill, who won a hurdle for Shane Crawley at Punchestown on New Year’s Eve, and the Charlie Longsdon- trained Do Wanna Know, who was second to the very promising Longhouse Poet on his sole start in an Irish point-to-point and then won at Huntingdon. Out of the El Gran Senor mare Iberian Dancer, Frammassone offers breeders of jumpers a rare opportunity to use a stallion who won over fences and hurdles, those successes coming among eight victories he gained in Italy. Now owned by Beswick Brothers Bloodstock and Marcus Collie, Frammassone will stand for £2,000 Oct 1 SLF. Kinsey says: “One of the guys who bought him keeps mares with us and didn’t know where to stand him, so I said, ‘Send him to me and I’ll see what I can do’. “He’s a nice horse, a good mover standing 16hh and with a lovely temperament – his oldest progeny are only six-year-olds. He’s done quite well from limited opportunities, including getting some winners on both sides of the Irish Sea. The fact that he’s won over fences and hurdles and has shown both stamina and the ability to jump offers breeders something a bit different. “We have been approached in the past to stand a stallion, but said no because the timing was wrong, but this represented a good opportunity, and while we are starting small it might progress in the future.” Kinsey, who rode a winner at Cheltenham’s evening hunter chase meeting, keeps some 20 mares at home and said he intends putting some of them to Frammassone. That broodmare band includes the former Willie Mullins- Retiring to stud four year’s ago Telescope (Galileo) has trained Limini, who won the Gr.2 mares’ novices’ hurdle at the proved popular at Shade Oak Stud and stands for a fee of , and who Kinsey bought for €75,000 at the £3,500 this season. © Steve Cargill latest Tattersalls Ireland’s November NH Sale.
