Multiple Group 1 winner Declaration of War will stand for 40,000 Euros (about $53,642) and classic winner Camelot will stand for 25,000 Euros ($33,525) as they begin their stud careers at Coolmore Stud’s headquarters in Fethard, Co. Tipperary, Ireland.

Declaration of War, by War Front, and Camelot, by Montjeu, are two of three new sires on the Coolmore roster for 2014, along with Most Improved (6,000 Euros, or $8,046).
