WELCOME. In the seven years since the Cheng family acquired Sun Stud, we have been buoyed by the marvelous support throughout Victoria and interstate and so we have decided to reduce service fees across the board in 2020. Sun Stud has always regarded itself as the ‘breeders’ farm with initiatives such as ‘no payment until live foal’ – which I’m happy to say remains in play for this spring – but the fee reduction will also hopefully provide breeders with every opportunity in these unprecedented times. Last year we introduced the ‘Chosen Son’ – National Defense – to the roster and he was ultimately the fourth most popular First Season Sire in the nation, covering 159 mares. His initial foals – in Ireland – have been given rave reviews and we eagerly await the first fleet arriving in Australia. We’re also looking forward to the first yearlings in 2021 by Thronum, Snitzel’s Group 2 winning sprinter and a true blueblood, who has covered two elite books of mares and gearing up for a third. The ‘Fast Stayer’, Fiorente, was Champion Victorian Second Season Sire with runners including Hawkshot, Stars of Carrum, Power Scheme and this year’s VOBIS Sires’ Guineas winner, Florent; Magnus notched up his fourth Group 1 winner (and seventh millionaire) when Streets of Avalon won the 2020 Futurity Stakes; Palentino’s first crop yearlings have made their way into leading stables and sold up to $160,000; Victoria’s most successful sire, Bel Esprit, has pushed through the 700 winner mark; Ready For Victory’s 2YOs are showing considerable promise; and Squamosa remains one of the best value sires in the nation with 2020 stakes performers including Order of Command and Kiwi Ida. Fortunately, now that coronavirus restrictions are easing we hope to welcome you on farm for any inspections. In the meantime, I’d encourage you to contact any of the nominations team with your enquiries. In closing I would like to wish each and every one of you success in your breeding endeavours.
