Look and Book into Trust In A Gust

Look and Book into Trust In A Gust

Look and Book. That’s the message - loud and clear - out of Swettenham Stud with Trust In A Gust leading up to this Sunday’s stallion parade at Nagambie. Pedigree and performance were always going to help promote Trust In A Gust but his physique will be a tipping point for breeders. “He was awesome in front of the Inglis Sale crowd at Oaklands last Friday,” Swettenham owner Adam Sangster said. “He was the last of the first-season sires to parade and he was the stand-out.” I

The Secret To Swettenham's Success

The Secret To Swettenham's Success

As he’s watched the first foals by freakish grey import Puissance De Lune enter this world, Swettenham Stud principal Adam Sangster can’t help but look to the future with bold optimism. Sangster has made it his mission in recent years to recruit stallion talent that could give him an edge in the breeding market, and in Puissance De Lune (Shamardal x Princess Serena), Toronado (High Chaparral x Wana Doo), and Trust In A Gust (Keep The Faith x Subtle Breeze), he has landed thre

How Sweet it is at Swettenham Stud

How Sweet it is at Swettenham Stud

For a stride or two in the straight, Sweet Sherry looked like causing the biggest boilover in Golden Slipper history. Sent out at $151, the Victorian visitor found a kick at the furlong despite having led into a headwind with no cover. She was overhauled in the final stages by Capitalist and co. but was brave to the line in a high-class renewal this year. Fast-forward five months and Sweet Sherry is back in contention for a Group 1 after a brilliant first-up victory in the C

Puissance De Lune spearheads Shamardal sireline

Puissance De Lune (Ire) will parade for broodmare owners at Swettenham Stud this Sunday on the back of another Group 1 victory for his sire Shamardal. Swettenham stands Puissance De Lune for $11,000 (inc gst) and he’s the only sire son of Shamardal standing in Australia to win a Group race in Australia. “He lost two Group 1s in head-bobbers at Flemington,” Swettenham owner Adam Sangster said. “That’s the difference between an $11,000 service fee and $25,000.” Leading owner

Swettenham Stud bred filly Sweet Sherry is back with a bang for the spring carnival following a runaway trial win at Flemington. The Bel Esprit 3yo had been kept comfy by Damien Oliver in a hit-out down the straight earlier this month but exploded to a 6 length victory when cornering around the inside grass on Friday morning. Sweet Sherry hasn’t raced since a brave run in the G1 Golden Slipper Stakes in March. She gave a tremendous kick in front at Rosehill and was only nail

First winner by Master of Design

Swettenham Stud’s Master Of Design opened his first-crop account with speedy front-runner Deal Master at Pakenham on Friday. Deal Master (pictured as a yearling) beat the bias against the fence to score an impressive debut win in the Visit Club Officer Plate (1000m). He races for a Team Corstens syndicate after being sold by Swettenham (as agent) for $90,000 at the 2015 Inglis Melbourne Premier yearling sale. “I give him credit for that win because it was much better than it
