Westbury Stud is pleased to announce the 2025 service fees for its high performing stallion roster, providing breeders with an accessible source of proven bloodlines at excellent value.

Tarzino sired his third classic winner from just four crops of racing age when his son Willydoit scored an emphatic victory in the Group 1 Trackside NZ Derby on Champion’s Day at Ellerslie and is quickly establishing himself as the new ‘classic’ sire in the New Zealand stallion ranks.

Willydoit became the second Derby winner for Tarzino after Jungle Magnate won the SA Derby in 2022, while Tarzino has also produced the classic winner Gypsy Goddess, winner of the 2022 Queensland Oaks and placed in the ATC Oaks.

Tarzino’s success continues to grow at a strong rate, and among his three new stakes winners this season are Torranzino, an impressive win of the MRC Easter Cup Gr.3 and the Chris Waller trained Kadavar, winner of the Christmas Cup and unbeaten in 4 starts over 2400m. Immediacy, a Group 2 winner at three has been successful in his last two starts in Melbourne while Crouch was placed in the WRC Wellington Cup Gr.3, Tomadachi stakes placed in the Listed WRC Lightning Handicap over 1200m and the promising stayer Titicaca taking out the $350,000 WRC Remutaka Classic.
