Backworth Stud: And So The Breeding Season Begins!
| Backworth Stud: And So The Breeding Season Begins! |
Backworth Stud got off to a good start to the season yesterday with 2 mares being covered in KwaZulu-Natal and 3 in the Cape, and more bookings for today.
Itβs an exciting year for Backworth ahead, and with a confident belief that the Thoroughbred and Racing industry is moving forward, we have taken a calculated and strategic approach to an upgrade in the Broodmare band over the past year. With an aggressive investment in stallion shares, and bookings to a profiled selection of proven and exciting new Stallion prospects, Backworth has 46 mares being covered this season.
From the KwaZulu-Natal selection we are obviously supporting champion sire Kahal, stalwart Mogok, A.P. Answer and Toreadorβ¦ and then new to the barn, Irish Flame, Byword, Crusade and Await The Dawn. Weβre also supporting promising sire Kingβs Chapel, where his yearlings on the ground look very racy.
We have sent 14 mares down to the Western Cape, to board at Winterbach Stud, and theyβll be visiting super-sire Var, Champion Freshman sire Judpot, Gimmethegreenlight, new boy What A Winter, and exciting new prospect in South Africa, Oratorio!
βBest Wishesβ to all fellow breeders for a magnificent season ahead!
Keith and Ian
