2018 Sun Stud Stallion Parade

Media Release - Monday August 27

A 10-strong stallion lineup and warm weather saw a record crowd of 300 plus flock to Sun Stud on Friday 17 August for the 2018 Sun Stud Stallion Parade.

See all the action from a sensational day showcasing a first class roster of stallions here.

It was the first opportunity for many in the crowd to get up close and personal with Snitzel's brilliant sprinting son, Thronum, who retired to Sun Stud earlier year and will cover a quality book of mares this spring.

Breeders and onlookers were also taken with the rest of the team: Palentino, the dual Group One winner whose first foals are currently arriving at farms around Australia; rising stars such as Fighting Sun, Fiorente, Squamosa and Ready For Victory, along with proven stallions such as Bel Esprit, Magnus, Love Conquers All and Moshe.
