  • 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.
