Hydros, a half brother to Hampton Court Stakes (G3) scorer and new Santa Rita da Serra resident Sangarius, has been sold by Juddmonte to stand at Hugo Pereyra Cabral's Haras los Vikingos in Uruguay.
The son of Frankel had originally been entered in the Tattersalls Horses in Training Sale earlier this week, but was withdrawn to begin his second career as a stallion.
Lightly raced for Sir Michael Stoute, Hydros broke his maiden at Pontefract in October of last year as a 3-year-old at second asking. He raced twice more this year, including when finishing third in his penultimate start at Newmarket.
In a deal brokered by Felipe Lopes, Hydros will join his half brother in standing at a South American stud. Another son of the dual world champion in Cunco, Frankel's first ever winner and scorer of Sandown's Bet365 Classic Trial (G3), stands at Haras Santa Monica in Chile.
He hails from one of Juddmonte's finest families, being the sixth foal out of Trojan Queen, a half sister to the stakes-winning Kingmambo mare Ideal World and Romantica, a daughter of Galileo who struck in the Darley Prix Jean Romanet (G1) for Andre Fabre.
The trio are in turn out of Banks Hill, champion daughter of Juddmonte blue mare Hasili. Banks Hill is a full sister to the operation's brilliant stallion Dansili as well as dual American grade 1 winner Cacique and the top-class pair of Champs Elysees and Intercontinental.
