Saratoga Springs has been retired to stud, it was announced today.
He will stand under the Darley banner in the northern hemisphere at a base to be announced at a later date and will shuttle to Milluna Stud in Australia for the southern hemisphere season this year.
The son of El Gran Senor was one of the leading two-year-olds of 1997, winning the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster when trained by Aidan O'Brien.
He won the Grosvenor Casinos Dante Stakes at York the following season before going on to contest the Derby at Epsom and the French and Irish equivalents.
He was bought by Godolphin from Michael Tabor and Mrs John Magnier in September 1998 but failed to make an impact for the Dubai-based operation last season. -PA
