Arrowfield Stud has announced it will be standing Japan’s Champion 2YO Colt Admire Mars (Daiwa Major), confirmed the return of Japan’s Maurice (Screen Hero), and advised unchanged fees for Champion Sire Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice) and five other stallions on the Stud’s 2021 roster.
Four consecutive stallion premierships have established the superstar credentials that Snitzel has boosted this season with 10 stakes-winners and the Magic Millions & Inglis Easter sale-toppers.
He will be available to breeders for A$165 000 inc. GST.
Maurice, Japan’s current leading second season sire, returns to Australia on the back of promising results by his first-crop juveniles and strong demand for his 2021 yearlings. He will stand at a fee of A$44 000 inc. GST.
Admire Mars (Daiwa Major-Via Medici by Medicean) will join the roster after serving his first book of mares at Shadai Stallion Station. He has much to contribute to the growing story of Japanese success in Australia as a triple Gr1 winner at 2 & 3, including a defeat of champion Beauty Generation in the 2019 Hong Kong Mile Gr1. His first season fee has been set at A$22,000 inc. GST.
Arrowfield’s Chairman John Messara noted, “Arrowfield stallions have generated more than A$125 million in prizemoney and major yearling sale results in Australia this season alone. In an industry that is proving resilient and robustly competitive during a period of global turbulence, I am confident that our 2021 roster will maintain that exceptional level of performance for breeders and owners.”
