Tara Madgwick - Friday August 18

The weather was cold, but the stallions were hot at the Widden Stud Victoria stallion parade on Friday with a big crowd in attendance to see nine stallions representing a great mix of promising and proven sire talent.

Widden Stud Victoria welcomed a big crowd on Friday.

New to the line up this year is super fast Group winning Snitzel sprinter Bruckner, who was trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace.

Proven favourite Nicconi will always be known as the sire of Australian Horse of the Year and Royal Ascot hero Nature Strip, but having produced 130 winners last season is one of the most prolific sires of winners in Victoria.

Nicconi takes the guess work out of breeding a winner, click for more info.
