With flag ship sire Extreme Choice coming out of a record breaking Inglis Easter where his nine yearlings sold averaged $1.5million it’s no surprise to see his service has been increased for 2026.
Newgate will stand a powerful roster of 15 stallions topped by Extreme Choice at $385,000 with his Golden Slipper winning son Stay Inside offering the potential of upside in the future with his fee remaining at $66,000.
Stay Inside has made a solid start with his first crop of juveniles including five winners headed by Group winners Blue Door and Incognito, plus New Zealand stakes-winner Lassified and Group placed Eviction Notice.
Snitzel’s Group I winning son Wild Ruler will also remain at $27,500 and has produced a top class colt from his first crop in Group II ATC Silver Slipper winner Stretan Ruler.
As a G1 Doncaster Mile winner by champion sire O’Reilly, Brutal is a stallion that might be expected to get classic three year-olds and that has come to pass with his talented gelding Sentimental Legend winning the Group II WATC WA Derby last Saturday. His fee remains at $16,500.
Proven favourites Capitalist and Russian Revolution remain at $44,000 and $33,000, while Tassort has had a slight reduction and will be offered at $33,000.
Capitalist is the leading sire by Australian winners this season and six of those 143 winners are stakes-winners, while Russian Revolution has sired two individual Group I winners this season in Libertad and undefeated New Zealand trained 2YO filly Lara Antipova.
Tassort stood for his first four seasons at a fee of just $11,000 with the first of his bigger and better bred crops of foals set to be offered as yearlings at 2027 sales.
Given the volume and quality of the stock Tassort has in the pipeline it’s not hard to see him as one of the smartest plays of all stallions in the Hunter Valley this spring.
