Waikato Stud announce fees

Breednet - Tuesday April 4
Sire-making powerhouse waikato stud is pleased to announce that its stallion fees will be staying put for 2017.

Savabeel"While we are yet to set a fee for our exciting new sire Tivaci who is still in Australia racing, the rest of our roster Savabeel, Ocean Park, Sacred Falls, Pins, Rock 'n' Pop and Rioswill be staying the same," explained studmaster Mark Chittick.

With 15 stakes winners this season and another conceivable clean sweep of the sire awards, Savabeel heads the roster at a service fee of $100,000 plus GST.

"He's had another ultra-exciting season with G1 winners Kawi and Hall of Fame heading a tally of 15 individual stakes winners.

To have had 15 stakes winners at this stage in the piece is massive, especially when you consider their versatility," said Chittick.

Savabeel's15 stakes winners this season include two blacktype winning two-year-olds at 1200m, right through to a two-mile winning eight-year-old.

All told, the multiple champion sire has sired 60 stakes winners, with an exact 50/50 split between the two sexes and a market leading 9.

7% stakes winners-to-runners ratio.

Ocean Park, at $30,000 plus GST, has his first crop currently racing.

The Cox Plate winning sire has already made his winning mark felt via the Tony McEvoy-trained winner Beerzatbernz in Australia.

"It's such a positive result kicking off with a winner from just two runners in Australia.

The signs were really encouraging at Karaka where we were hearing favourable comments from a number of trainers, who subsequently backed this up by buying more of his stock," pointed out Chittick.

Sacred Falls will likewise stand at $30,000 plus GST, with the dual Doncaster winner impressing many with his outstanding first crop, which arrived in 2016.

"His foals are exactly what we wanted.

They're very attractive and a good size.

For what will be the second stage of his stud career, he has set himself up with a platform that we are very excited to be going forward with," said Chittick.

Pins, who will stand for $25,000 plus GST, continues to prove his weight in gold for the stud.

"Season in, season out he will have an average of eight stakes winners and one out-and-out headliner.

Already this season he has had the seven, with headline honours already achieved through Paul O'Sullivan's terrific G1 Hong Kong Sprint winner, Aerovelocity.

Rock N Pop will stand for $9000 plus GST and retains his title as the best bred G1 winning son of Fastnet Rock at stud.
