Godolphin’s multiple Group 1 winner LIBRETTIST (Danzig) has been retired to
Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket, England, following his off-the-board appearance
in the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1). The four-year-old will stand for a £10,000,
special live foal.

A half-brother to Group 1 winner Dubai Destination, Librettist won two of his
three outings as a two-year-old in 2004. He missed all of 2005, but returned
this season to capture his first five starts, including the Prix Jacques le
Marois (Fr-G1) and Prix de Moulin de Longchamp (Fr-G1).

“Librettist was an outstanding miler,” trainer Saeed bin Suroor stated on
godolphin.com. “He won two of his three starts for us as a two-year-old and went
on to even better things when he returned to action this season as a
four-year-old. His two Group 1 wins were exceptional performances.”

The bay colt, produced by a half-sister to top sprinter Agnes World (Danzig),
heads to stud with a record of 10-7-0-0 and earnings of £432,033.
