Tara Madgwick - Friday August 18

The weather was cold, but the stallions were hot at the Widden Stud Victoria stallion parade on Friday with a big crowd in attendance to see nine stallions representing a great mix of promising and proven sire talent.

Widden Stud Victoria welcomed a big crowd on Friday.

New to the line up this year is super fast Group winning Snitzel sprinter Bruckner, who was trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace.
