Spendthrift Australia will hit the ground running when the 2015 breeding season commences on Tuesday, September 1.

High-profile shuttler Warrior’s Reward (USA) has attracted strong support from broodmare owners and the Group 1 winning son of Medaglia D’Oro has settled in well at the Romsey nursery which was formally known as Yallambee Stud.

“His coat is shining and boy is he eating,” stallion handler Wayne Howard said.  “His pedigree is perfect for Australia and, with the ‘Share The Upside’ program here in Victoria, you would be silly not to sign up.”

Spendthrift’s Kentucky based farm bred over 2,600 mares this year which was more than any stud in North America.  Those numbers were achieved as a result of the breeding programs initiated by owner B Wayne Hughes.

“I believe breeders will benefit from our programs no matter the location,” Hughes said.  “That’s why we brought them to Australia.”

Spendthrift’s general manager Garry Cuddy is driving the Australian operation and he’s delighted to have the innovative program in place.  “The ‘Share The Upside’ program creates lower costs and an additional source of potential profit for the breeder” Cuddy said.  “We offer life time breeding rights to all four stallions standing here at Spendthrift Australia and payment upon live foal.”
