Tullyraine House Stud has successfully bred National Hunt horses in Co. Down for over 30 years and will stand

Conduit for 2016. Tullyraine has a history of standing stallions with classic middle-distance form and have stood successful stallions such as Insan and Winged Love in the past. An American Champion Racehorse and twice European Champion Racehorse, Conduit’s race record is outstanding, though possibly his victory on soft ground in the St. Leger may be the best indicator for future National Hunt

success. He is exceptionally well-balanced in both conformation and movement. He is a straight mover with textbook-perfect limbs. He is the very model of a modern National Hunt racehorse.
