STALLION OVERVIEW

We are delighted to welcome high-class sprinter and Group-winning sire Soldier's Call to the stallion roster at Mickley Stud and he will be introduced for the 2026 covering season.

At 2 years this son of Showcasing was the Champion 2yr old colt in France, and won the Gr.2 Flying Childers, Windsor Castle Stakes (L) and the Gr,3 Prix d'Arenberg for Archie Watson and Clipper Logistics, as well as placing third in the Prix de L'Abbaye (Gr.1) later that season.

At 3, Soldier's Call was second in Nunthorpe Stakes, York, Gr.1, (to Battaash), third in King's Stand Stakes, Ascot, Gr.1, (to Blue Point), Westow Stakes, York, L., (to Garrus), and fourth in Flying Five Stakes, Curragh, Gr.1. He retired to stud in 2020.

Among Soldier's Call's leading progeny is Group 3 winner Dawn Charger, Listed scorers Kaadi and Arugam Bay, plus Group-placed performers Muqtahem, Monello Sabino, War Bride and Dorothy Lawrence. The nine-year-old's tally stands at three black-type winners and 12 individual stakes performers, while he is also the sire of the appropriately-named Mickley, a winner of the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2024.

Soldier's Call's recent sales ring success includes a three-parts brother to champion sprinter Bradsell making 70,000gns to Grangemore Stud at the 2025 Tattersalls December Foal Sale, and a yearling daughter of Periwinkle from Kellsgrange Stud was knocked down to Johnny Murtagh for EUR 85,000 at the Book 1 Goffs Orby Yearling Sale.

Mickley Stud owner Richard Kent has followed Soldier’s Call career since he was a yearling, watching him develop into a commercial two-year-old who became a Royal Ascot winner. He's a beautifully made horse with a lovely temperament and will be a great addition for breeders in northern England wanting to breed fast and precocious two-year-olds.
