Thronum is the sire of triple Metropolitan 2YO winner and Listed ATC Brian Crowley runner-up Thron Bone (subsequently sold to Hong Kong and renamed Invincible Sage), 3YO Caulfield winner Cute As, as well as 4-time winner Original Glaze (contested G1 Qld Oaks), 3-time winner Gulf Of Lion and four other dual winners.

Meanwhile, last start Morphettville 2YO 1000m runner-up Zanthron and Hong Kong galloper Midas Touch both appear to have huge upside.

“The opportunity to stand a stallion of Thronum’s quality was too good to pass up,” Maiton Ag proprietor, Paul Cocking enthused. “Thronum gives breeders access to a stallion with a proper pedigree, an elite racing profile and impressive progeny performance.

“As a 'breed-to-race' breeder myself, with a handful of mares, Thronum is the perfect fit for me and, I think that will be the case for quite a few breeders and trainers around the Wagga area as well.

“There’s already been a lot of talk about him and that’s before he has even been officially announced.”

Thronum is a paid up BOBS stallion and will stand for an advertised fee of $3,300 inc GST, with live foal terms, while discounts will be available for payment upon a 45-day positive pregnancy.

Please contact Paul Cocking 0428 212 776 or paulcocking@maitonag.com.au to secure a Thronum stallion nomination.
