The Wildenstein family has transferred 14 horses from France to England to be trained by Sir Henry Cecil and Luca Cumani.
Among them is stable star Beauty Parlour who has left Elie Lellouche to join Cecil while a dozen unraced juveniles will be trained by Cumani.
Beauty Parlour has already won the French 1000 Guineas this season and gone down narrowly in the French Oaks.
“The Wildenstein Stable today made the decision to send 14 of its 85 horses to be trained in the United Kingdom of which two fillies will go to Sir Henry Cecil and 12 two-year-olds to Luca Cumani,” a statement from the Wildenstein operation said.
“Considering its ambitions and following the example of other major French stables the Wildenstein stable in fact wanted to give itself a more international calibre.
“The Wildenstein stable will keep its other horses in France where they will remain with their respective trainers.”
Cumani said he was thrilled to be training for such a high profile establishment.
“This has injected a great deal of excitement throughout the team at Bedford House, and we are all very much looking forward to the day these beautifully bred horses will make their debuts on the racecourse,” Cumani said on his website.
