Rich Hill Announce 2024 Fees -Proisir Raised to $80,000

Media Release - Thursday April 18

Off the back of another exceptional season for its high-class stallion roster, Rich Hill Stud has announced its service fees for 2024.

Proisir, Shocking, Ace High and Vadamos all sired Group One winners and Satono Aladdin also continued to build on his burgeoning Southern Hemisphere record to sire another five Group winners.

Proisir has had a fee increase from $70,000 to $80,000.

Champion sire Proisir has continued his remarkable rise through the Australasian sire ranks and has now sired six individual Group One winners over the last 20 months, while his commercial return to breeders has soared to new levels.

At New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale in January, his magnificent daughter out of Donna Marie sold for $1.6 million to set a benchmark record-price for a filly sold at auction in New Zealand.

Proisir’s 27 Karaka Book 1 yearlings averaged $275,000, while at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale his four yearlings sold up to A$450,000 and averaged A$283,000.

“Proisir’s future looks particularly exciting with his bigger books and better pedigreed offspring to hit the sale-ring and racetracks over the next few seasons,” Rich Hill Stud’s managing director John Thompson said.

Proisir will stand at a fee of NZ$80,000 + GST for the 2024 breeding season.

Leading young stallion Satono Aladdin has had another stellar year with his progeny to the fore both on the racetrack and in the sale ring. His yearlings were in huge demand at Karaka 2024, selling up to $900,000 and a Book 1 average of $235,000 for 14 lots sold.

Satono Aladdin (Jpn)

Satono Aladdin was crowned Champion Two-Year-Old Sire and Leading Second Season Sire last season through the exploits of his Champion Two-Year-Old Tokyo Tycoon and Champion staying filly Pennyweka.

He has continued in the same vein this season and currently leads the New Zealand 3YO sires by stakes winners with four individual three-year-old stakes winners.

“Satono Aladdin has achieved his racetrack results to-date off relatively small initial books, and he has since bred quality-books of 168 mares in 2022, and 162 in 2023,” Thompson said.

“Should he maintain his current standout statistic of 10.62 percent Group winners-to-runners, he looks the likely heir apparent to his own champion sire Deep Impact.”

Satono Aladdin will stand at a fee of NZ$65,000 + GST for the 2024 breeding season.

Ace High, a dual Group One-winning son of High Chaparral, has made an immediate impression with his first crop three-year-olds.

Ace High

“Ace High is the Leading New Zealand Second Season Sire by combined Australian-New Zealand winners with his tally of 16,” Thompson said.

“He has already sired outstanding Group One-winning filly Molly Bloom, stakes winner Drakaina, stakes placed My Lips Are Sealed and a host of other promising gallopers including the recent eye-catching Victorian debut winner Angland.

“His stock have been keenly sought both at public auction and via private trade, with his Karaka 2024 yearlings selling up to $280,000 with a Book 1 average of $164,000.”

Ace High will stand at a fee of NZ$15,000 + GST for the 2024 breeding season.

Proven top-flight producer Shocking continues to enhance his reputation as one of New Zealand’s most consistent sources of high-class racehorses.

Shocking

Shocking has already sired seven stakes performers in 2023/24, including Group One winner El Vencedor and Victorian stakes winners Here to Shock and Mark Twain.

The New Zealand-trained galloper Mark Twain has already qualified for the 2024 Melbourne Cup after his stunning last-to-first win in the Listed VRC Roy Higgins Handicap at Flemington.

“Shocking offers breeders a real opportunity to breed a superior racehorse at a fee of NZ$12,500 +GST for the 2024 breeding season,” Thompson said.

The progeny of Group One-winning French miler Vadamos have enjoyed another strong season on the racetrack.

Vadamos (FR)

Vadamos currently sits inside the top 20 on the New Zealand sires’ list, having sired 19 winners with over $1 million in stakes.

His star mare La Crique has added another Group One victory to her resume this season, while Mosinvader and Devastate have both performed at Group Two level.

“His Karaka yearlings sold up to $220,000 and we can look forward to another successful season for his progeny on the racetracks of Australasia,” Thompson said.

Vadamos will stand at a fee of NZ$9000 + GST for the 2024 breeding season. – NZ Racing Desk
