The Valley π πOF Champions

Champion sires and champion racehorses have emerged from Widden to make their mark on racing throughout the world, their success shared by people from all walks of life, who are united by a common passion for the .

As long as there have been thoroughbred yearling sales in , 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 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.

Where π πTHE Journey Begins

Geography and Mother Nature have bestowed tremendous natural gifts on Widden Stud making it one of the most picturesque farms in the world, offering an unparalleled environment for young thoroughbreds.

Located on 7,000 acres of spectacular horse country in the Widden Valley, our farm features rich alluvial creek flats sheltered by magnificent sandstone cliffs providing a pristine and tranquil environment in which our bloodstock can thrive and grow.

A perfectly balanced environment produces well grown yearlings with good bone, strong muscles and all the physical attributes needed for success.

Allowed to roam free in huge spacious paddocks our young thoroughbreds run in groups to develop the competitive instincts and mental toughness that will one day make them superior athletes.

Ride π πTHE Wave

Our stallions are on a roll and the farm has real momentum. Golden Slipper winner Stratum has already sired Group I winners Crystal Lily, Streama and Southern Lord, from just four crops to race.

Also a winner of the Golden Slipper, has started his stud career in explosive fashion and has three stakes-winners already in Criterion, Bring a Ring and Dissident. Not to be out done Northern Meteor has matched his barn mate’s success by number of winners, five stakes- horses and Group 1 performer Equator. Their burgeoning success is the source of much excitement for all at Widden.

The Champion Two year old and Three year old colt Star Witness and dual Group 1 performed Tickets will be well represented with outstanding first crop yearlings next year. With great excitement we will see Nicconi and Dreamscape first crops debut in 2yo races across the land.

The addition of Fastnet Rocks Group 1 winning son Your Song completes a stunning line up, the best sons of the best sires at competitive fees!

Our sales graduates continue to race up a storm with past Group I stars such as Whobegotyou, Anacheeva, Typhoon Zed, Triple Honour and Helenus joined this year by the likes of Budriguez, Kutchinsky, I’m All the Talk, Shamal Wind, Testarhythm, Golden Sunshine, Sea Diamond, etc.

Success for Widden Stud comes from the horses we breed and sell as well as through our outstanding roster of stallions, who sire winners every day of the week. You can join our team and share our success.
