Arrowfield Announces 2018 Service Fees

Breednet - Tuesday April 24

Arrowfield Stud today announced the service fees for the Stud's 2018 roster headed by dominant Champion Sire Snitzel, with Group-winning 2YO & 3YO Pariah joining the Stud's powerful line-up of Redoute's Choice sons.

Snitzel will stand at $220,000After a record-breaking performance to win the General, 2YO & 3YO Sires' Premierships in 2016/17, Snitzel is setting new Australian benchmarks again this season with $26 million prizemoney and 25 stakeswinners, including Group 1 winners Trapeze Artist, Redzel, Russian Revolution and Golden Slipper winner Estijaab.

Demand for Snitzel's yearlings has risen accordingly, resulting in ten $1 million-plus yearlings this season, and a 2018 major sale average of just over $500,000.

Snitzel's 2018 fee has been set at $220,000 inc. GST.

Pariah (Redoute's Choice-Secluded by Hussonet) will join his sire's dynasty at Arrowfield as a dual Group winner, Blue Diamond S. G1 runner-up and the second top-rated 2YO colt of his year. His fee is $22,000 inc. GST.

James Harron, who bought Pariah as a yearling and managed his racing career, says, "Our mission at the yearling sales is find stallions of the future, and Pariah's profile was impeccable.

Pariah"Physically he was a truly outstanding yearling, by the pre-eminent sire of sires in Redoute's Choice and from an exceptional colonial speed family. He fits all of our criteria as a hugely exciting stallion prospect and we will be supporting him heavily at stud with top-class mares."

Arrowfield's Chairman John Messara says, "Snitzel, Not A Single Doubt and Beneteau – all by Redoute's Choice, all outstanding 2YOs and all outstanding sires. Pariah is in the same mould and we are excited to stand him."

Group 1 winner Shamal Wind and Group winners Petits Filous, Real Stolle and Scarlet Rain are among the 60 mares that have already been committed to Pariah's first book by his strong shareholder group.

Redoute's Choice himself will be available to a strictly limited book of mares at $137,500 inc. GST. The three-time Champion Sire is an asset anywhere he appears in a pedigree, as the sire of 32 Group 1 winners, 76 million-dollar yearlings and ten Group 1-siring sons, and damsire of 70 stakeswinners, including this season's Classic-winning colts Ace High, D'Argento, Kementari and Levendi.

The superbly consistent leading sire Not A Single Doubt's fee has been set at $99,000 inc. GST. His 14 stakeswinners this season, among them Caulfield Guineas G1 winner Mighty Boss, are close to a career-best tally. Breeders continue to be well-rewarded for their Not a Single Doubt yearlings, which have achieved a major sale average of almost $300,000 over the past two years, and sold up to $1.05 million this year.

Classic and weight-for-age champion Dundeel has already thrown Group 3 winner Irukandji from his first crop of 2YOs, and his second-crop yearlings have sold up to $500,000. His fee is unchanged at $27,500 inc. GST.

Buyers have clearly liked the first yearlings by Champion sprinter-miler Olympic Glory, paying an average of six times his fee for them, with $600,000 and $400,000 paid for his top-priced colt and filly. His 2018 fee is $16,500 inc. GST.

Deep Impact's top-class son Real Impact will stand his third season at an unchanged fee of $19,250 inc. GST. Dual Group winner Scissor Kick stands again at $16,500 inc. GST. Both stallions have left very attractive first foals and their first Australian yearlings will be offered at 2019 sales.

Fees for the three international champions Arrowfield launched last year are all unchanged: Japan's Horse of the Year Maurice ($33,000 inc. GST) and Champion Sprinter-Miler Mikki Isle ($13,750 inc. GST), and European 2YO sprinting star Shalaa ($33,000 inc. GST).
