Blue Gum Farm Announce Service Fees

Media Release - Friday April 17

On the eve of the Super Vobis Owners and Breeders race day at Caulfield, we at Blue Gum Farm are pleased to announce the service fees for our stallions for the 2020 breeding season.

Manhattan Rain, the sire of 2017 G1 Golden Slipper Stakes winner and Champion Australian 2YO She Will Reign, as well as a host of other Stakes winners, will stand at a fee of $13,200.

“What Manhattan Rain has already achieved is very exciting” said Philip Campbell recently, “but what is around the corner for this stallion is even more exciting to us” he continued.

Manhattan Rain relocated to Blue Gum Farm in 2017 and his first Victorian sired crop were in great demand at this year’s Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

There his progeny sold up to $310,000, averaged exceptionally well and are now in the care of some of this country’s very best trainers.

The future looks exciting indeed for Encosta De Lago’s very best son. 

The evergreen Turffontein, sire of recent multiple Stakes winners Mandela Effect and Singapore sprint star Bold Thruster, will stand at a fee of $6,600. Turffontein has sired the Group winning millionaires Widgee Turf and Fontein Ruby and the brilliant, multiple Group winning 2YO Fontiton and he continues to produce good solid racehorses in every crop.

His two live chances, being Khoekhoe and Cornucopia, in The Vobis Sires Showdown for 2YO’s this weekend is further proof of that.
