Mickley Stud s Heeraat has been sold and will continue his stallion career in Sweden.
The son of Dark Angel won the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes for William Haggas and Hamdan Al Maktoum in a durable and consistent racing career, before retiring to the Shropshire farm for the 2015 breeding season.
Heeraat is responsible for the prolific Rockingham Stakes victor Aberama Gold, Swedish Listed scorer Freed From Desire and the Richard Hannon-trained five-time winner Motakhayyel so far in his second career.
Mickley Stud founder Richard Kent said on Friday: He was the nicest, kindest horse we ve ever had on the farm and my 11-year-old daughter was with him at 12am the night before he left crying her eyes out and then again at 6am when she sent him off with a bag of carrots.
