Spring Valley Stud Smart Prospects For 2019

Spring Valley Stud are currently sitting on a winners to runners percentage of 30%, with 16 wins for the season including a Black Type Win with Just As Well filly, Just Chaos, who took home the Racing Association Listed.

Bruce Le Roux always knows how to breed a good horse and we spotted 11-time winner multiple Stakes Placed London Call at work during the week.

Bruce currently stands Just As Well and Eightfold Path at his farm in Mooi River. Both stallions haven’t received full books but their progeny perform admirably and consistently on the tracks.
