Blue Gum Farm is pleased to announce its 2026 stallion roster and service fees, headlined by proven sire Flying Artie, who will stand at a marginally increased fee of $13,500 + GST.
A Group 1 winner and champion sprinter, Flying Artie has surged to new heights off a breakout season that yielded nine stakes performers, firmly establishing himself in the top 20 sires in the country. Leading the charge is the outstanding mare Asfoora, whose international exploits include victory in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes and a dominant performance in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye, earning her Champion European Sprinter honours.
My Wish has further elevated Flying Artie’s profile with his emphatic Group 1 Champions Mile triumph, showcasing the stallion’s ability to produce elite race horses on the global stage.
Adding further depth to his remarkable season are recent Group 2 winners Sixties and In Flight, underlining both the quality and consistency emerging from his progeny ranks as well as his ability to produce top class colts and fillies.
Flying Artie’s consistency in producing high-quality, fast, and global performed stock has seen him firmly entrenched as a go-to stallion for breeders targeting both the racetrack and sales ring success. His upward trajectory has been reflected in his 2026 service fee.
“Flying Artie has proven himself time and again as a sire of genuine top-level performers,” said Blue Gum Farm Co-owner & Principal, Sean Dingwall. “His ability to produce horses that can compete and win at the highest level, both here and abroad, is a huge asset for breeders. He’s a stallion that continues to deliver, and we feel this fee still represents excellent value given his results.”
Also on the roster, Oxley Road, the Group 2 and Group 3 winning sprinter by Exceed And Excel, will stand at a reduced fee of $5,000 + GST as he prepares to welcome his outstanding first crop of foals to the sales ring.
Trained by Peter Moody, and a full brother to Group 1 producing sire Exceedance, Oxley Road was described by Moody as “as fast a colt as I’ve trained.” His first foals have impressed with their strength, athleticism, and type.
“Oxley Road has been very well supported since retiring to stud, and we’ve been thrilled with the quality and consistency of his stock,” Dingwall said. “He offers breeders access to elite speed and a proven sireline at a very accessible price point”.
With a focused and carefully curated roster, Blue Gum Farm continues to offer breeders a compelling mix of proven performance and emerging potential. The farm remains committed to supporting breeders with quality service, strong industry relationships, and flexibility for loyal clients and multiple bookings.
