Gr1 winner Caravaggio will stand in Kentucky for the 2021 season.
The six-year-old son of Scat Daddy won the Gr1 Phoenix Stakes at two before winning the Gr1 Commonwealth Cup at three.
Retired to Coolmore Stud in Ireland at a fee of €35,000, his fee was increased to €40,000 this year.
Coolmore said support for Caravaggio from North American breeders played a part in the switch.
“Ever since he retired to stud Caravaggio has been supported by top American-based breeders such as David Anderson, Peter Berglar, John Gunther, Hunter Valley Farm, Runnymede Farm, Fred Hertrich, Mike Ryan, e5 Racing and Merriebelle Stables,” a statement read.
“A multiple Gr.1 winner, Caravaggio is an outstanding physical and was a fantastic racehorse going unbeaten in his first six starts, which included Royal Ascot wins at both two and three.
“His pedigree holds major appeal for breeders here being a son of Scat Daddy, one of the most successful stallions we’ve ever stood at Ashford, and out of a stakes winner on dirt by Holy Bull. All in all, we thought it made a lot of sense to bring him over.”
