This Sunday we are taking both boys through the gorge to the annual stallion parade staged by the Manawatu branch of the NZ Thoroughbred Breeders Association.
Towkay and Zed will parade at Wellfield Stud in Palmerston North at 2pm. Wellfield is located at 311/29 Kairanga Road, off Bunnythorpe Road - just 5 minutes from the Palmerston North CBD.
Interest in both stallions for the upcoming breeding season continues to be positive with Sam getting confirmation this week of a date with Towkay for Mark Todd's dual winner, the well bred mare Duvauchelle. This on the back of a booking from the Vela's Pencarrow Stud for three mares.
On the racing front Prevaricate (Postponed-Trigon Lass) scored over 1800m in Melbourne during the week. The four-year-old, a winner of three in a row during his last preparation, was a $30,000 purchase from our 2006 Karaka Premier draft by Dean Hawthorne.
Keep an eye in next week's monthly newsletter for details on a new addition to LA's broodmare band, a maiden mare from currently the hottest family in the NZ Stud Book.
