Bloodstock agent James Harron has joined Yulong Investments as a consultant in a part-time capacity, stepping in as the Victorian operation readies to expand into New South Wales and stand five stallions in the Hunter Valley in 2026.
As part of the contract, Harron will be able to maintain his existing client base and independently operate his colt, filly, and broodmare partnerships. His colts partnership tasted success this year with G1 Champagne Stakes winner Fireball (Snitzel) and G3 Breeders' Plate winner Incognito (Stay Inside).
“It's an incredibly exciting chapter of the Yulong story with the establishment of a presence in the Hunter Valley,” Harron told thestraight.com on Friday.
“It's just a very standard consultancy engagement and we're (using him to help us, given) his experience,” confirmed Yulong's General Manager Jun Zhang.
Harron will travel to the Hunter within the coming days to meet the Yulong team at Segenhoe Stud, which was acquired by Yulong in April for a figure reported to be over $30 million.
