MEHMAS
PROFILE
​
EUROPE'S CHAMPION SECOND-CROP SIRE IN 2021
​
EUROPE'S CHAMPION FIRST-CROP SIRE IN 2020
Mehmas was a top class two-year-old.
He won four races as a juvenile and was never out of the first three in all of his starts.
​
His first two wins were followed by victories in Gr.2 Richmond Stakes (6f), beating Gr.1 winner Blue Point, and the Gr.2 July Stakes (6f).
​​​
He was a trainer's horse, and won the admiration of his handler Richard Hannon by showing his class, toughness and a willing attitude every time he ran.
​
He has made an electric start to his career at stud with the likes of the Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes and Gr.2 Richmond Stakes winner SUPREMACY, top Gr. 1-winning filly GOING GLOBAL, G1-winning miler CHEZ PIERRE, and back-to-back Gr. 2 Gimcrack Stakes winners MINZAAL (later winner of the G1 Betfair Sprint Cup as a 4yo) and LUSAIL, alongside other top-class 2yos CATURRA and PERSIAN FORCE.
​
PERSIAN FORCE now stands alongside his sire at Tally-Ho Stud.
​
He is enjoying another phenomenal season in 2024 as the sire of 50 2yo winners - and counting! - including the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes winner SCORTHY CHAMP, G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine VERTICAL LADY and G2 Flying Childers Stakes hero AESTERIUS.
​
Mehmas is a brilliant source of 2yos but it is also worth noting that G1 winners CHEZ PIERRE, GOING GLOBAL and MINZAAL have been best as older horses.
Not just a turf sire, Mehmas has also been represented by a multiple stakes-winning sprinter on dirt in COLOUR UP.

''I just love this horse. He's a nice moving horse and has a lovely attitude. He's a professional, has a lot of class, a big heart and is very tough, you can't ask more than that''''
