New Stallion for Glen Eden Stud

Media Release - Sunday June 14

Glen Eden Stud is proud to announce that Group One performed War Front son Fleet Review (USA) will join their roster this spring.

Internationally acclaimed champion sire War Front is a prolific and versatile stallion that has produced stakes winners over distances from 1000m to 2400m at a regularity of nearly 17% stakes winners to runners, including 21 individual Group One winners. 

Fleet Review

War Front’s ability to pass on juvenile speed into his progeny is second to none with over 40% of his sons and daughters winning as a two years old. 

War Front has produced stakes winners in the USA, England, Ireland, Hong Kong, France, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and in 2018 Homesman became his first Australian Group One winner (from only a very small number of runners). 

His influence expanded significantly again in our part of the world over the past year when one of his son’s, Declaration of War, produced the Melbourne Cup, VRC Derby and Queensland Oaks winners.  In the sales ring War Front has produced 26 yearlings that have sold for $1,000,000+ with a top result of $2,900,000 for a colt in 2019.

Glen Eden Stud is proud to announce that his Group One performed son, Fleet Review will stand his inaugural season at the farm in 2020 at an advertised service fee of $8,800 (GST inclusive). 

Glen Eden Stud principal, Sonia O’Gorman, stated:-

“Fleet Review is impeccably bred.  His dam is a full sister to Rip Van Winkle.  He was a powerful colt that achieved multiple wins as a two years old as well as a narrow defeat in the Group One Middle Park Stakes where he ran second behind another of War Front’s successful sons in US Navy Flag (who entered stud duties in New Zealand last season covering in excess of 150 mares).  Fleet Review concluded his two years old season with a rating of 115 closely behind European two years old champion (1,000m-1,200m) US Navy Flag (117).  Fleet Review returned to the racetrack in his three years old season to win a stakes race at the Curragh and then finish a strong third in the Group One July Cup against the older horses.

“He is an impressive specimen in both type and conformation, and with a beautiful temperament to match.  We believe he is great value for breeders to tap into one of the best sire lines in the world.”
