Superstar Shuttlers Arrive in New Zealand – Who Do You Pick?

Tara Madgwick - Friday August 9

The New Zealand breeding industry is poised to ignite with the arrival of two exceptional young shuttle sires this year, both multiple Group I winners by champion sires.

Kiwi broodmare owners have an exciting opportunity to breed to two of the best three year-old colts in Europe last year in Paddington (GB) and Chaldean (GB).

They arrive having just covered their first books of mares at two of the global stallion power houses in the world with Paddington coming from Coolmore in Ireland where he stood for €55,000 and Chaldean from Juddmonte Farms UK base Banstead Manor where he stood for £25,000.

In New Zealand they will stand for the same fee which means breeders will be super keen to see them firsthand.

Paddington won four G1 races in a row last year.

By champion French sire Siyouni, Paddington (GB) was a winner at two and then blazed through his classic season for the Coolmore partners to be crowned Champion European 3YO Miler with a string of glorious G1 wins in the Irish 2000 Guineas, Royal Ascot St James’s Palace Stakes and then the Goodwood Sussex Stakes and Sandown Eclipse Stakes against older rivals.

Paddington stands at Windsor Park Stud a fee of $35,000.

Chaldean was a G1 winner at two and three.

A Group I winner at two and winner of the Group I Newmarket 2000 Guineas at three in the famed Juddmonte colours, Chaldean (GB) has arrived safely at Cambridge Stud where the son of Frankel will stand at Cambridge Stud at a fee of $35,000.
