WORKFORCE, last year's Derby and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner, has been retired to stud as reported in Monday's Racing Post.

The four-year-old will join former stablemate Harbinger in Japan next year where he will stand at Teruya Yoshida's Shadai Farm after a deal was completed by owner Khalid Abdullah.

Workforce, who was bred by Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms, is a son of King's Best, who also sired last year's Japan Derby winner Eishen Flash.
