Home grown stallions attract strong support

... in the current season five sons of those Stallions - American Ideal, Art Major, Bettors Delight and Somebeachsomewhere – have all bred over 100 mares in Australia.
The acceptance by breeders of these five stallions – For A Reason, Poster Boy, Soho Tribeca, Ultimate Machete and Vincent – represents a big step forward for our Breeding Industry.
The positive signs don’t end with these five stallions either. The 2016 Australian 2YO of the Year The Storm Inside and the Inter Dominion champion Tiger Tara were strongly fancied by Australian breeders as well with around 90 and 80 mares bred respectively.
Bling It On, who mixes his racing and breeding career, is another stallion who has been kept busy all season, having served around 90 mares. His oldest progeny will soon be seen on racetracks around Australia (current two-year-olds).
The former outstanding racetrack performers Fly Like An Eagle, Guaranteed and Jilliby Kung Fu have all received good bookings as well with numbers between 40 and 60 mares each.
