Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday Sep 25

A fast Group winning sprinter by Breeders Cup Classic winner Blame, Officiating (USA) was carefully selected by Aquis Stallions following a global headhunting mission to secure an outcross stallion for Queensland and his first foals are arriving this spring.

The sire of 52 stakes-winners worldwide, six of them Group I winners, Blame has already made his presence felt in Australia as the dam-sire of Group I winning sprinter Switzerland, who kicks off his stud career at Coolmore this spring.

With a strong international Black Type female family featuring this year’s Royal Ascot Group winning mare Crimson Advocate, Officiating has a powerful mix of bloodlines bringing a fresh injection of speed to the Queensland broodmare population.

Officiating was well received last year covering 111 mares with a selection of his first foals below and he is priced this year at $8,800.
