Reward for Effort

"I am very proud of our history, longevity and the champion stallions and racehorses that have called Chatswood home over the years. To make it to 50 years is a testament to the continued support of breeders.

We are standing just the two stallions this season in Inference and Reward For Effort with both offering breeders exceptional value. Meanwhile, our appeal as a family owned operation remains. Inference commences his fourth season at Stud in 2021.

The $1 Million earning, Group 1 Winning son of So You Think covered his biggest book in his third season. With a pleasing $50k average at Melbourne Premier and good feedback from breakers, the excitement builds as his first crop are about to turn two.

Reward For Effort once again provides much needed reliability and consistency for Australian breeders. ‘Reward’ will sire over 100 individual winners in the 2020/21 season, taking his career progeny earnings over $30 Million. He can always produce a strong, honest type, as evidenced by his yearlings selling to $110k in 2021.

The excitement generated from standing two stallions at differing stages of their careers provides us with the enthusiasm to keep doing what we love. I would like to sincerely thank every single breeder who has supported us over our 50 year history. Started by my father Alan, we remain as one of the few family owned studs in an industry that has enjoyed the financial windfalls of overseas investment. If given the choice, I encourage you to support locally owned studs, where proceeds remain in Australia.

We love showing off our beautiful farm, so I extend a warm welcome for you to visit by appointment on any day. Wishing you all the best for another exciting breeding season."
