Power, already the sire of a winner with his first northern hemisphere-bred runner,
will stand at the unchanged fee of $8,000, fellow freshman Burgundy's fee has
been reduced by $1,000 to $5,000, and proven sire Keeper will also have a
$1,000 reduction to $6,000.
All fees are exclusive of GST and carry a live foal guarantee.
"Power couldn't have made a better start to his career with his two-year-old colt Peace Envoy winning on debut in Ireland recently," said Sir Patrick Hogan. "That doesn't really surprise me as Power himself was a racehorse of the highest class at two and three and to see the quality he has put into his progeny sired here tells me he will be a success.
"His sire Oasis Dream has already made his mark here through one of our best young stallions in Showcasing, and the way that Power's first crop were received at the yearling sale augurs very well for his future.
"They sold up to $600,000 and he had a Karaka Premier average of $209,000, which is incredible for a horse standing at just $8,000."
Power stands on shuttle from Coolmore Ireland, whose Australian representative Michael Kirwan confirmed that his hopes are held for Peace Envoy and other first crop Power progeny.
"It's a big plus getting an early two-year-old winner and he has been earmarked for Royal Ascot," Kirwan said. "The general word on the Powers is that they're fast and precocious and when you see how well they've been received down here as well, he's got it all in front of him."
Danehill line associate Burgundy was one of the fastest of his generation and likewise. His first yearlings to go before buyers met with a solid response. They sold up to $105,000 and have landed in the stables of local trainers as well as in Hong Kong and Singapore, with one even sold to the United Kingdom.
"Burgundy is a three-quarter-brother to Darci Brahma and was a naturally gifted galloper who has let down into a superb individual," said Hogan.
"I don't think breeders need any reminding of the sort of gallopers that Keeper is capable of leaving. He has a wonderful record across the board and any broodmare owner wanting access to a proven stallion at what has to be a bargain fee needs to look no further."
