Spendthrift Australia will parade their stallions for interested viewers over a two day period Aug. 18-19. The parades will introduce new stallion Swear (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}) and will also feature his Group 1-winning barn-mates Hampton Court (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}), Jimmy Creed (Distorted Humor), and Warrior's Reward (Medaglia d'Oro). The stallions will parade Aug. 18 at 3p.m. followed by afternoon tea and the next day at noon with lunch served afterwards. There will be activities for the entire family at Saturday's parade. “Once again, we are very excited to open our gates and extend an invitation to anyone who can attend our stallion parade,” said Spendthrift Australia's general manager Garry Cuddy. “We are excited for breeders to see Swear, the first stallion prospect to retire to stud after having successfully carried the Spendthrift Australia colours on the racetrack. We feel Swear represents another terrific opportunity in our 'Share The Upside' program, and we believe breeders will like what they see at the stallion parade.”
Swear, a A$725,000 Inglis Easter yearling purchase by Spendthrift Australia followed up a group 3 win with a narrow defeat to Yankee Rose (Aus) (All American {Aus}) in the G1 Spring Champion S. at Randwick last year. He becomes the newest stallion to participate in Spendthrift's renowned “Share The Upside” program for a fee of A$8,250 Inc. GST. He will also be offered at $5,500 Inc. GST Payable On Live Foal. Spendthrift Australia asks for an RSVP for those who plan to attend either day of the stallion parade, which can be done via email to [email protected], or calling the office 03 5421 5600.
