Rosemont Young Guns Attract a Crowd

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 19

It takes a bit of effort to get to Rosemont Stud near Geelong which is a solid hike from the main studs within easy reach of the Nagambie area in Victoria, but with superstar young guns Schwarz and Henry Longfellow (IRE) on the roster, Mitho and his team were always going to be a must visit!

Welcome to Rosemont!

Rosemont is also home to one of the country’s best value sires in Shamus Award, who added a new stakes-winner to his tally last Saturday when exciting mare Pop Award won the Listed MRC Regal Roller Stakes at Caulfield.

But the Cox Plate winning son of Snitzel was not the horse broodmare owners had come to see.

Henry Longfellow (IRE)

It was all about blueblood Dubawi son Henry Longfellow (IRE) on his first shuttle trip from Coolmore Ireland and the brilliant Zoustar sprinter Schwarz, who was purchased by the Rosemont Stallion Alliance and partners as a yearling for $1.25million at Magic Millions.

As a Group I WFA winner, Schwarz is the realization of a dream for all of those connected with him and is a horse that could be a game changer for Victoria.
