Westbury Stud have released the fees for their 2019 stallion line-up with Reliable Man and Tarzino heading the roster at $15,000 + GST.

 

Reliable Man has sired several stakes winners over the past twelve months headed by his daughter Sentimental Miss winning the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) and Belle du Nord winning the Gr. 2 Cal Isuzu Stakes (1600m). His season looks far from over with the likes of Grinzinger Star, Nobu and Trusty Lad all aiming at Australian Group One features in the next few months. 

 

Dual Australian Group One winner Tarzino is entering his third year at stud after receiving strong support in his first two years serving 124 mares in his first season and 133 mares in 2018.

 

Redwood and Swiss Ace will stand at $10,000 + GST, with El Roca and Telperion rounding out the roster at $9,000 + GST and $5,000 + GST respectively.

 

 

The JLT Weanling Walk, organised by the Waikato Branch of the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association will take place this Sunday 28th April.

 

The tour will visit six farms in the Waikato region showcasing up to ten weanlings by first season sires at each property.

 

Tour participants will be able to view weanlings by Preferment, Vadamos, Tivaci, Tarzino, Telperion, and Puccini.

 

“People will be able to see what the progeny of these stallions look like to help them make a decision on where to send their mare in the upcoming breeding season,” organiser Derek Mayne said.

 

The tour will leave the NZTBA office in Cambridge (9 Anzac Street) at 10am with a bus provided free to all NZTBA members. 

 

Lunch will be provided at Waikato Stud and the tour will conclude at 4:15pm.
