Ribchester Returning to Haunui Farm

Media Release - Tuesday June 18

Haunui Farm will again welcome four-time Group One winner and two-time Champion Miler Ribchester back in 2024 for his fifth season at stud in New Zealand.

Ribchester has been well supported by New Zealand broodmare owners and the mating results have seen yearlings from each crop reach six figures in the auction ring.

Racetrack results have been solid, despite small crops, and his winners to runners ratio for his four-year-old crop is 80% and 56% for his three-year-old crop, while his stakes runners to winners operate at 11%.

“We’re please to have Ribchester back this year and believe he represents great value for breeders wanting to tap into a quality European bloodline,” Mark Chitty said. “He has had limited opportunities at the track due to small crops but the results are very encouraging and the statistics stack up.

“All eyes will be on Royal Ascot where Ribchester will be represented by Facteur Cheval in the Gr.1 Queen Anne, a race he set a record in himself.

“Ribchester is of course a son of Iffraaj, and we see his continued influence every week as he nears 100 stakes winners worldwide, and through the deeds of his sons at stud.”

Ribchester will stand at a fee of $10,000 +GST.
