Roman Emperor Looking for a New Home

Tara Madgwick - Sunday August 19
The recent sale of Bart Cummings' Princes Farm to Racing NSW has meant resident sire Roman Emperor is now looking for a new home in which to continue his stud career.

Roman EmperorOwned by the estate of Bart Cummings and Dato Tan Chin Nam, Roman Emperor was a high class stayer as his pedigree would suggest winning the Group I ATC Australian Derby and finishing second in the Group I MRC Caulfield Cup.

By world renowned stallion Montjeu (IRE) from a prolific Black Type female family, Roman Emperor was bought from Karaka for $240,000 by Bart Cummings and won back all of that and more, retiring with earnings of $1.4 million.

The same qualities of class and stamina that drew the attention of legendary 'Cups King' Bart Cummings are now being passed on to the offspring of Roman Emperor.

Cummings had great faith in the ability of Roman Emperor to make his mark at stud and that faith has been vindicated despite his status as virtually a private stallion with limited opportunities that have seen him cover less than 200 mares in seven seasons at stud.

Stakes-winner Emperor's Way is by Roman EmperorRoman Emperor has an impressive 54% winners to runners, his 19 winners headed by stakes-winner Emperor's Way, who runs for Triple Crown Syndications and is trained by Peter and Paul Snowden.

Also Sydney metro winners Roman Son and Latin Boy from the Richard Freedman stable, as well as  Imperator Augustus, Nepean, Roman Typhoon and the very promising two year-old debut winner Etheridge, who is being aimed by her trainer John Thompson at Oaks races next year.

A stunning individual representing the powerful Sadler's Wells sireline, Roman Emperor is completely free of Danehill blood and would be a great addition for a farm looking to offer their clients proven world class stamina.

The hottest young staying sire in the world is Montjeu's Epsom Derby winner Camelot and another of Montjeu's Australian Derby winning sons in Nom Du Jeu, sired this year's Group I Hong Kong Derby winner Ping Hai Star. Also let's not forget Cambridge Stud's star Group I sire Tavistock, another super successful sire son of Montjeu, who stands at a fee of $65,000.

Interested parties in Roman Emperor should contact Anthony Cummings on 02 9663 3088.
