Little Brose to be Unveiled by Little Avondale

Media Release - Monday May 12

Gr.1 Blue Diamond (1200m) winner Little Brose will be officially unveiled to the public at Little Avondale Stud’s open day on Thursday afternoon.

The first Australian Group One-winning two-year-old to retire to stud in New Zealand since Darci Brahma in 2005, Little Brose has joined his own outstanding sire Per Incanto on the Little Avondale roster.

“We’re really looking forward to having our stallion open day on Thursday, which is going to be basically our launch of Little Brose,” Sam Williams said. “Both Little Brose and his dad Per Incanto will be parading, and it’s open to anyone who wants to come and have a look at them.

“Little Brose is just a stunning horse. He’s really letting down into a magnificent animal and is so much like his father, which is fantastic.

“Per Incanto himself has had an incredible season, moving up to ninth on the Australian sires’ premiership and leading the Centaine Award. He has had a deserved fee hike up to $60,000 this year, but people now also have the option of accessing his bloodlines through Little Brose for $15,000.

“I think people will be suitably impressed with Little Brose. The phrase that we’re using is ‘like father, like son’, because that’s really the way he’s shaping up.

“Per Incanto remains outstanding value for the success that he’s been having, and it seems like there’s much more still to come for him as well.”

Little Avondale’s open day will also feature guest speakers.

“The event kicks off at 2pm on Thursday, and we’ll be doing some coffee and refreshments for the parade,” Williams said.

“Bevan Sweeney will be the MC, and as well as there being a bit of a spiel from myself, we’ve also got Ben Hayes coming to speak. He and his brothers trained Little Brose, so it will be very interesting to hear from him.

“Cameron Rodger and Lachlan Fitt will be there too to have a wee chat about their breeding syndication venture, Evergreen Bloodstock.

“I’m looking forward to what should be a really cool and fun day.” – NZ Racing Desk
