First Season Sires Karaka – Contributer

Tara Madgwick - Thursday January 24
Charismatic High Chaparral stallion Contributer (IRE) was a popular member of the Godolphin racing team in Australia achieving Group I wins in the ATC Chipping Norton Stakes and Ranvet Stakes with his first yearlings set to make their presence felt next week at Karaka.




Retired to Mapperley Stud in New Zealand, Contributer has been well received by local breeders and will look to follow in the footsteps of other successful High Chaparral sire sons such as So You Think and Dundeel.
