Four-time group race winner Time Test (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who is currently standing his first season at the National Stud in Newmarket, will shuttle to New Zealand's Little Avondale Stud this year after that operation purchased his Southern Hemisphere breeding rights. He will stand for NZ$10,000.
National Stud Chairman Guy Roxburghe said, “We are hugely excited to be teaming up with New Zealand's longest-established stallion stud to offer Time Test to breeders there. His first season at stud here in England has been a great success and we really couldn't have wished for a stronger list of breeding right supporters, all of whom have sent him some really wonderful mares.”
Little Avondale principal Sam Williams said, “We are extremely proud and excited to be standing Time Test here at Little Avondale. It has been over four decades since we stood the English-bred Oncidium, who won the [G1] Coronation Cup and went on to become New Zealand's champion sire. Time Test has a wonderful pedigree by a champion sire and from a very strong female line. He is an impressive, athletic individual with a very kind eye; however, it was his performance on the track that really caught my attention. He had a unique toughness and a super turn of foot. It is these credentials that Time Test brings with him that will appeal to New Zealand breeders.”
