Swettenham Stud

Adam Sangster has long harbored an ambition to put together a group of investors that can share with him the passion and excitement of breeding thoroughbred horses. Finally all those people who have indicated they would like to be involved with Swettenham Stud (and don’t have a mare) have the appropriate vehicle.

In consultation with Stable Connect, a progressive firm holding an appropriate dealers’ license (ASFL #336964), Swettenham Stud are well advanced in developing the appropriate investment vehicle that would provide investors with this unique opportunity. As Adam Tims from Stable Connect states “Imagine the enjoyment being in a close knit group that can utilize the expertise, contacts and facilities of the world renowned ‘Swettenham Stud’ and so participate in the Australian and international thoroughbred breeding and racing industry in such an intimate fashion”.
The venture has many important ingredients:
» It will source and purchase at least five quality broodmares:
     »Two will be from the USA and their foals will be weaned after birth in early 2010 and sold next
      November at Keeneland Foal Sale in Kentucky.
      » In most cases mares will be in foal, although good fillies & mares off the track will not be overlooked;
      » The mares will be mated to suitable commercial stallions in Australia in 2010 with the aim of
      selling the progeny at major yearling sales in Australia;
» It will identify and purchase commercial weanlings, to be prepared for resale at the major yearling sales;
» Finally, it will identify and purchase yearlings that will be suited for resale to the Asian market. They will be trained up to reach that market as trialed or ready to run horses.
