Widden Sons of Guns – Hypothetical Matings

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday July 25

Widden Stud are offering a great deal with six sons of champion sires available at a discounted rate for breeders who select two for their mares and all are Premium stallions on Breednet, so if you are breeding on a budget and can’t afford the big guns, let’s get testing some Hypothetical Matings on the sons of guns!

Portland Sky, click for Hypo mating.

Deep Field has just been crowned with his second Champion HK Sire title and his Group I winning son Portland Sky represents a great opportunity to access his bloodline. Portland Sky covered 105 mares last spring and his first foals are highly anticipated.

Not a Single Doubt is building a powerful sireline and while his champion son Extreme Choice is priced beyond the reach of most broodmare owners, Widden offer two of his fastest Group winning sons in Anders and Doubtland and both will have their first yearlings at sales in 2024.

Anders has an international female family with his first two dams by Kentucky Derby winners War Emblem and Sunday Silence, while Doubtland is from the family of Golden Slipper winning sire Rory’s Jester.

If you harbour the dream of breeding a Classic or Cups horse, Russian Camelot (IRE) is your man. A dual Group I winner in Australia, by one of the world’s best staying sires in Camelot from an elite European female family. No need to buy a tried horse out of Europe when you can access the same bloodlines at home.

A mirror image of his Golden Slipper winning sire Sebring, Gold Standard has achieved stunning results from his first couple of small crops producing Group I winner Sheeza Belter and covered his first big commercial book of 124 mares last spring. It can only be onwards and upwards for this exciting young stallion, who has also sired stakes performers Golden Queen and Gage Roads among 10 winners from just 23 starters.

Written Tycoon is now a virtually private stallion for Yulong, but his brilliant Group II winning son Dirty Work is a great alternative and has his first yearlings selling in 2024.
