There is no doubting the credentials of young stallion Highland Reel.

Now standing his third season at Swettenham Stud, he is the best performed son of champion racehorse and stallion, Galileo.

Highland Reel is so much like his outstanding father who just recently in one day – September 13 - kept the Group 1 victories rolling along when he produced another three horses to win at the highest level.

Th...

Due to the spread of COVID-19 and the subsequent restrictions imposed, we are required to make some alterations to our walk-on mare procedures.  We have modelled our protocols on the system successfully used throughout Europe during the recently concluded Northern Hemisphere breeding season.

The wait is finally over for this immensely popular first season sire who has bought plenty of excitement to Swettenham Stud.

For a lot of breeders, seeing is believing and every person who has seen this young stallion has booked a mare to him.

By the famed I Am Invincible, his son is the only dual stakes two year-old colt in Australia and is Danehill free.

The four year-old has let down like the bes...

When bloodstock experts John Foote and Angus Gold talk about top stallions, it pays to listen to their opinions.

Both men agree that Puissance de Lune is the best value stallion in Australia.

Gold put it bluntly when asked his opinion on value stallions and said Puissance de Lune “gives mare owners a proper chance at a sensible price.”

Again it’s a case of exceptional statistics on the track and in t...

It was a tough start to Trust In Gust’s stud career with the dual Group 1 winner being in the paddock for a year before fronting up for duty.

But he is making up for lost time with his biggest crops coming through now and is certainly one to watch in the stallion ranks.

Trust In A Gust covered 58 mares in a first season and the next two seasons covered 67 and then 77 to give himself a good represent...

Quite simply, Toronado is the stallion everyone wants.

In what is perhaps a little bit bitter-sweet, Swettenham Stud would love to please everyone wanting to send a mare to the in demand stallion – but his book has been closed for the 2020 season and it has been for a long time.

And it’s not surprising with his feats on the racetrack generating big prices in the sales ring which is reflected in the...

He looks incredibly well and relaxed after arriving back in Australia for his third season after stud duties in Ireland.

The local market got a look at his first weanlings this year and they liked what they saw as they sold for up to $76,000. His progeny will now head to the Easter Yearling Sale in 2021.

The seven-time Group 1 winner, who had victories at the highest level in England, Hong Kong and...

The Group 1 Hong Kong Cup winner kicked off the year with a two year-old Stakes winner, courtesy of Jyoti and father- son training team, Tony and Calvin McEvoy.

As his winners and reputation grows, so does the size of his books. He covered his biggest book of mares – 134 – last year and 98 the year before.

Not only does he get great results on the track, but the demand in the sale ring should also n...

Long-time horse breeder Adam Sangster knows all about the thrill of being trackside, but says something that never loses any excitement is the arrival of a new stallion.

Sangster, the principal of Swettenham Stud at Nagambie, readily admits that he is genuinely excited with the arrival of I Am Immortal, a son of I Am Invincible.

The new kid on the block, a Listed and Group 3 winner, will be four yea...
