Gewan, the Dewhurst Stakes winner and a leading contender for the 2,000 Guineas, has undergone a 'January transfer' to race for Forz Europe following a major restructuring of the Chinese-owned Yulong Investments operation.
The move comes as Yulong, owned by billionaire Yuesheng Zhang, transfers its European racing stock to Ace Stud, the Newmarket-based stud now managed by Zhang's son-in-law, Harris Li. Forz Europe will act as Ace Stud's official racing arm.
Alongside Gewan, Royal Fixation, winner of the Lowther Stakes and placed in the Cheveley Park Stakes, has also joined the Ace Stud team and will race in the new Forz Europe colours. Paul Curran, Bloodstock & Racing Manager for Ace Stud, said: 'We have some top-class runners to look forward to next year, including Gewan, Royal Fixation and Evolutionist.'
From 1st January 2026, Ace Stud's runners will sport distinctive new silks: white with green and white checks on the arms and a green cap. Gewan, currently 12-1 second favourite for the 2,000 Guineas, is expected to be among the stable's leading lights in the upcoming season.
