Ballylinch Stud, in collaboration with Al Shaqab Racing, has acquired a majority interest in Look De Vega, the impressive winner of the Prix du Jockey Club, the French equivalent of the Derby.

Look De Vega, is sired by Ballylinch’s star stallion Lope De Vega and is currently under the training of Carlos and Yann Lerner.

As the ante-post favorite for the prestigious Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Look De Vega has maintained an unbeaten record in three starts, showcasing a remarkable turn of foot at Chantilly. After his racing career, Look De Vega will join his sire at Ballylinch Stud.

“We are delighted to see the form of the French Derby working out so well with third-placed Sosie an impressive winner of the Grand Prix De Paris last Saturday, fourth-placed Ghostwriter finishing a close second to City Of Troy in the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, and seventh-placed Sunway a good second in the Irish Derby,” Ballylinch’s managing director John O’Connor told Thoroughbred Daily News.

“Carlos and Yann Lerner have done a fantastic job so far with Look De Vega and we look forward to working with them.

“We are also very pleased to once again join forces with Al Shaqab Racing following our previous association with Prix de l’Opera winner Place Du Carrousel, who is also by Lope De Vega.

“We are delighted that his previous owners – his trainers Carlos and Yann, Mr Patrick Madar, and his breeders Joelle Mestrallet and Lucien Urano, who were represented in this deal by Meridian International – will continue to be involved in the ownership of Look De Vega, and we look forward to more great days in the future with them.”
