Pyrus retires to stud at Ballyhane in 2005

"There is not a more pre-potent sire of sires than Mr Prospector (below) and Pyrus has the quality and pedigree to make top sire"

.....

"Pyrus booked his Royal Ascot ticket when making a winning debut in the Marble Hill Stakes...the newcomer ran a bit green when asked to quicken, but once he grasped what was required of him, he accelerated nicely. Aidan O'Brien said 'He must be very good. This was a big call for a horse having his first run.'"
