Sergei Prokofiev returns to Canada as stallion

Group 3 winner Sergei Prokofiev, last year’s leading freshman sire in England and Ireland, will return home to Canada to continue his stud career.

Anderson Farms, which bred the son of Scat Daddy, announced that it has acquired and syndicated the stallion, who will stand at Ballycroy Bloodstock in Loretto, Ontario, for a fee of $10,000 Canadian. Anderson sold Sergei Prokofiev for $1.1 million as a Keeneland September yearling to the Coolmore team, which raced him and then stood him at Whitsbury Manor Stud in England. His runners are led by Group 1 winner Arizona Blaze.

“We haven’t seen a proven stallion of his stature come to Canada in decades,” David Anderson told Canadian Thoroughbred. “He’s not only a proven sire of top runners, but he is commercial. He had full books of 150 mares each year, and his 2025 book was arguably his best. In a couple of years, he will have horses racing on several continents and become a truly international stallion, and he is only 9 years old. I think there is a good future for Ontario breeding, and this is the kind of horse that can make that happen.”
