Leading Victorian farm Rosemont Stud stands some of the best stallions in Victoria and you can see them all up close and personal this week in virtual parades.
There will be a virtual parade for each of the five stallions (one per day) for the week beginning Monday August 31st from 6pm live every evening on Rosemont’s Facebook page.
Monday – Strasbourg (I Am Invincible)
A brilliant colt by a champion sire, Strasbourg is I Am Invincible’s highest rated 2YO to go to stud since Brazen Beau in 2015.
A $750,000 Easter yearling, Strasbourg retires to stud as a Group II winning, multiple Group performer in his juvenile season and will receive overwhelming support from not only Rosemont and China Horse Club, but breeders throughout Australia with all breeding rights that were available now secured.
Tuesday – Starcraft (Soviet Star)
One of the best, proven sires at under $10k – some 40 stakes horses including 20 stakes winners that have won over $42m in progeny earnings and tracking at very strong 60% winners to runners.
A leading sire in Hong Kong with multiple Group winners, Starcraft also delivers in the sale ring with his yearlings in 2020 selling for up to $340,000, $320,000 proving his perennial worth is as strong as ever.
Wednesday – Shamus Award (Snitzel)
The #1 Son of the #1 Sire. Amassed over $5m in earnings last season with the equal most stakes winners of any current stallion standing for under $20,000.
Sired the fast finishing runner up in both the Group I MRC Memsie Stakes and Group III McNeil Stakes in Mr Quickie and Flying Award and you can read about them here.
His progeny have sold at auction for up to $550,000 within the last 12 months and Shamus Award has over 120 2yo’s in work this season representing his biggest ever crop.
Thursday – Nostradamus (Medaglia D'Oro)
Sire of arguably Australia’s most exciting filly, CLAIRVOYANCE. A sensation in Western Australia, this undefeated filly has won her last two starts in Perth by a combined 10 lengths +
Currently #2 on the 2nd Season Sire list ahead of Headwater, Vancouver.
Friday – Starspangledbanner (Choisir)
The King Of Victoria. Four time Group I wining champion sprinter, Royal Ascot hero AND the #1 Sire in the state by Stakes Winners to Runners – over 6.3%!
Since start of July, he’s had four individual stakes-winners worldwide from 31 winners + another three stakes performers! Among those winners is his $2million Inglis Millennium winner Prime Star, who scored his first new season victory at Rosehill last Saturday.
