THE High Court has ruled that Sands Of Mali should remain at Ballyhane Stud until a full trial resolves the dispute between Joe Foley and Steve Parkin over ownership of the stallion.

Sands Of Mali, a Group 1 winner who has stood at Ballyhane Stud since 2021, had his first runners in 2024. He had 17 winners from 45 runners, placing him second in the European first crop sires list in prize money won.
