Proven Value in Victoria

Tara Madgwick - Monday May 18

There are not a lot of stallions standing at a fee of $13,200 to go to this spring that have sired FOUR stakes-winners this season.

Woodside Park is home to Shalaa (IRE), who is exactly that, an affordably priced proven sire that continues to produce quality sprinters such as Bev’s Nine, who stepped up at Scone on Saturday to win the $200,000 Listed Ortensia Stakes (1100m).

The Tom Charlton trained gelding has an impressive record with six wins and a second from eight starts earning connections over $340,000 in prizemoney, read about him here.

Bev’s Nine is the fourth Australian stakes-winner this season for Shalaa joining Roselyn’s Star, King’s Secret and the imported Welwal (GB).

Well capable of getting precocious juveniles, Shalaa also gets the sort of high class sprinters that can come back year after year such as Mornington Glory and Recommendation, so is the perfect VOBIS Gold and VOBIS Sires Stallion.

Shalaa is a stallion offering a lot of bang for buck this year with his fee reduced to just $13,200.
