Dual Group 1 winner Ole Kirk to stand at Vinery Stud | 4 | Friday, October 30, 2020 << Continued from page 2 “Ole Kirk is the sort of horse who I wouldn’t see going on as a four-year-old as he’s done what he needs to do, as we always say, but that is not to say that we’re not open to it,” he said. “It’s been discussed and Neil and the boys are very keen to seek Ascot opportunities because we’ve had quite a bit of interest from overseas from a couple of farms we’ve talked to, so there’s an opportunity there perhaps. “But in the meantime, we will keep it open and let John Hawkes decide where he’s going to go. Certainly, he’s that sprinter-miler style of stallion, so there’s great options for him.” Rival studs competing to land the well-credentialed Ole Kirk also tabled offers comprising a shuttling component to their deals in a bid to convince the owners they were the best fit for the colt. “Our interest has been Europe-based and I know a couple of the other farms have obviously put things together with America, Ireland and Japan,” Orton disclosed. “It’s always on the agenda of everyone coming into a horse like him who is an expensive horse and (shuttling) is a way to spread the risk, but, Ole Kirk VINERY STUD most importantly, it provides him with double the opportunities. “The sire line is working so well and Black Caviar being in the family well as being the sister to the unbeaten Black Caviar, is a three-quarter sister makes it one that is known so well worldwide.

  • Widden Has Been Well Served in Making Stallions On
    Sebring Zoustar Supido Star Witness Nicconi Your Song Shamus Award Stratum Star Outreach the future is now ANTONY THOMPSON 2018 has seen the fortunes of Widden Stud sires continue to rise. Zoustar emerged as the Champion Australian First Season Sire, following in the footsteps of Your Song who was the Champion First Season Sire by winners last year, while Sebring is powering through the current season with winnings in excess of $9 million and 11 Stakes winners to his credit. Star Witness, Nicconi and Your Song are proven young stakes sires priced affordably to deliver further success. While our younger stallions, Shamus Award, Outreach, Stratum Star and newcomer Supido, will write the next chapter of success. Stallion power is what makes a stud great for generations to come and we believe our current roster of sires is one of the best we have ever presented. It covers all bases, offering large and small breeders a variety of options to achieve the best result for your mare, both commercially and on the racetrack. The ongoing support of our valued clients has built the reputation of our sires and we never underestimate the role you play in that success. It all starts with a good book of mares and goes from there. We look forward to working closely with you to breed the champions of the future. Those future champions are created with decisions you make today – the future is now. ROBERT ANDERSON Antony, Katie and the Widden family have been a large part of my life for the best part of 30 years now.

  • History of Thoroughbred Breeding in the Upper Hunter Valley
    Thoroughbred Breeding History in the Upper Hunter Valley Executive Summary The history of thoroughbred breeding in the Upper Hunter Valley dates back to the very early days of settlement with the importation of the TB Stallion ‘Crawford’ to Potter Macqueen’s Segenhoe Stud in 1826. Since then there has been an expanding continuum. In the early 21st century the valley is acknowledged as one of the premier TB breeding areas of the world comparing favourably with both Newmarket UK and Kentucky USA. There have been a number of iterations when one area of the valley or another has reigned supreme. Broadly speaking the region has been divided into at least three geographical clusters: Denman and environs including Widden, Bylong and Baerami Valleys plus Jerrys Plains, Muswellbrook and district, Scone and region with Merriwa and also latterly the Murrurundi/Timor precinct. It might be reasonable to argue that the TB enterprises were gradually squeezed northwards by the encroaching coal mining industry from earlier establishments in the lower Hunter Valley; especially around Maitland. Remarkably the ‘mud map’ of thoroughbred studs in 1900 very closely resembles that for 2016 with ownership the only issue. There is one notable exception: Widden Stud. The Hon James White was the pioneer leviathan owner-breeder in the early days of metropolitan racing in both Sydney and Melbourne. His trail blazing forays included Epsom Derby assault on the august Jockey Club establishment in England. During the latter part of the 19th century the Thompson family of the Widden & Bylong Valleys were preeminent. Brothers W & F. A. Moses sustained a brief but exceptionally productive period at ‘Arrowfield’ (now ‘Coolmore’) near Jerrys Plains early in the 20th century.

  • PACO BOY’S Availability in 2011, We Jumped at the Chance
    2011 WAIKATO STUD PACO BOY HONG KONG CHAMPION SHAMROCKER ROCKIN’ THE RECORDS AMBITIOUS DRAGONPhoto courtesy of the HKJC IT IS A LONGSTANDING PHILOSOPHY AT WAIKATO STUD TO SEEK STRONG FINISHING SIRE PROSPECTS. WELCOME TO As seen with CENTAINE, O’REILLY and PINS, it is a policy that has served us extremely well, so when we learnt of the international triple G1 winner PACO BOY’s availability in 2011, we jumped at the chance. The GREEN DESERT line sire fits ideally into our selection criteria. Following on from early two-year-old success, PACO BOY achieved a remarkable three- year-old season, only ever starting in quality black-print races. His seven outings at 3 resulted in five black-type wins and culminated with G1 glory in the G1 Prix de la Foret. Renowned for his blistering turn of foot, he finished his racing career WAIKATO STUD with three international G1 wins and the distinction of 8 group level victories. Beyond his vital ability to quicken and compete at the highest level, he confirms our commitment to the future. We believe we have no future without the assurance of ownership. You, our customers, are entitled to feel confident of continuity. Continuity it would seem is something we are pretty good at. In the WS brochure a decade ago, Garry wrote: Waikato’s senior stallion Centaine has done it all, right through to passing the half century mark in stakes winners. His two-year-olds show their class from day one with maturity they carry their form through to the “highest level, and lately his broodmare daughters have been continuing the G1 tradition.

As long as there have been thoroughbred yearling sales in Australia, Widden Stud has been in the business of breeding and selling young racehorses and after 146 years, we are still at the top of our game. The art of breeding commercial thoroughbreds and champion racehorses has been passed seamlessly from father to son and Widden Stud is now progressing under the excellent stewardship of Antony Thompson, a seventh generation descendant of John Thompson, who emigrated from England in 1832 with little but a burning ambition to succeed. As much as our business revolves around the horse, it is also about the people and we love to share our success, so we invite you to come join us in our quest to breed great thoroughbreds and enjoy all that Widden Stud has to offer.
