An
agreement has been reached between Woodside Park in Victoria and Wattle Grove
Stud in NSW to relocate the Danehill (USA) stallion, Foreplay, back to NSW.
In announcing the switch, Wattle Grove principal Ian Macpherson explained that
he approached Woodside Park in order to secure a proven and well recognized
stallion to stand at his property at Berrima in the Southern Highlands of NSW.
Wattle Grove is looking forward to standing Foreplay, a proven stallion with a
fantastic pedigree, who should have great appeal to NSW breeders.
Foreplay (pictured) is well regarded in NSW, as a result of his initial foal crops when he
was based at Yarraman Park.
He produced the Golden Slipper runner up and Group II winner Decision Time from
his first crop as well as Group III winners Playcidium Mint and That's Not It and
boasts a current winners to runners ratio of 60%.
Foreplay's well publicized fertility issues are a problem of the past with him
covering 82 mares and achieving a fertility rate of 86% at Woodside Park last
year.
Woodside Park will continue to support Foreplay by walking mares out to Wattle
Grove from their Tylden farm.
Foreplay will stand at Wattle Grove for a fee of $8,800.
Wattle Grove will be offering a transport rebate so that Victorian breeders may
continue to support Foreplay.
