PINS TO STAND FOR $37,500 (+GST,LFG) IN 2013

Waikato Stud’s internationally renowned Group One stallion Pins is to remain at a service fee of NZ$37,500 (+GST. LFG) for the 2013 breeding season.

“Each and every season, Pins consistently delivers between six to 11 elite stakes winners and has a headline act making the news,” explained Waikato Stud’s Mark Chittick.

“His nine Gr.1 winning headliners have dominated key races across the globe, and include the star likes of the two-time ‘Hong Kong Horse of the Year’ Ambitious Dragon, the Champion NZ 3YO Katie Lee, the Cox Plate hero El Segundo and the Singapore wonderhorse, Waikato.

“This season he has again proved just what an elite sire he is with seven stakes winners so far. The star of these, of course, being Ambitious Dragon, who showed us just why he is rated as one of the very best gallopers in the world with a runaway HK-1 win in the Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup at Sha Tin last Sunday.

With this tally of seven stakes winners, Pins is not only distinguished as one of Australasia’s top 10 stakes producers this season, but he has gained entry into an exclusive club of just 11 other NZ-based stallions in history to sire 50 individual stakes winners.

“What’s interesting about Pins joining New Zealand’s elite 50 plus club, is that of Waikato Stud’s sires to achieve this O'Reilly, Centaine and Pins, he has been the fastest to do it,” Chittick said.

The ultra-reliable sire has been crowned the Centaine Award winner for global progeny earnings for the past two seasons and looks well set to add to this record with offspring once again proving their supreme competitiveness around the world this season.

Pins is also ideally situated for a second Champion Hong Kong Sire title and was strongly received in the Karaka Yearling Sales ring earlier this year, with progeny selling up to $775,000 and averaging $105,400.
