Spendthrift Australia are pleased to announce that Gold Standard and Overshare have arrived at their Romsey farm and are available for inspection.
Headlining
the roster this year will be Overshare, a Group 3-winning son of champion sire
I am Invincible. A winner at two, Overshare won the G3 Zeditave Stakes and the
Listed McKenzie Stakes, both at 1200m, at three.
"We are very excited to have him at the farm for breeders to see because we
feel that he ticks all the boxes," said Garry Cuddy, General Manager of
Spendthrift Australia.
"He's by a champion sire, he's a multiple stakes-winning sprinter, and he definitely looks the part."
From the family of five champions and a $320,000 Inglis Easter yearling,
Overshare is being offered on Spendthrift Australia's Share the Upside program
at a fee of $15,400 Inc. GST for a one-time only payment on live foal. He will
also stand for $11,000 Inc. GST on live foal terms.
Also retiring to the farm this year is Sebring's Group 2-winning son Gold
Standard.
Bred in Victoria by Mr. Robert Crabtree and acquired by the
Waterhouse/Bott Stable from the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale, Gold Standard
placed second to Addictive Nature on debut in his only start at two, and
returned at three to turn the tables and take out the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes
at Rosehill in dominating fashion, defeating Group 1 winners Trapeze Artist,
Ace High and The Mission before finishing fourth in one of the deepest renewals
of the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes in recent memory.
"Sebring is a sire that we have a lot of time for and we are very excited to
offer breeders his well-performed son," said Cuddy.
"Our Farm Manager Grant
Burrill (formerly Assistant Manager at Widden) says he is the spitting image of
his sire, on type and in mannerism. Which is an added bonus in our
opinion."
Gold Standard will be offered on the Share the Upside program for $7,700 Inc.
GST for a one-time only payment on live foal. He will also stand for $5,500
Inc. GST for breeders wishing to breed on live foal terms.
