Mark Lindsay returns to Sun Stud

Media Release - Monday February 26

Sun Stud is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Lindsay as Senior Sales and Nominations Manager.

Lindsay is set to return to Sun Stud in a leadership role of Senior Sales and Nominations Manager. He is a familiar face for Victorian breeders, having previously held the position of Nominations Manager at Eliza Park and Sun Stud from 2008-2015.

After a two-season stint in the Hunter Valley, the lure to be based full-time in his adopted home state of Victoria proved too much for the former New Zealand native to resist. 

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Newgate Farm,  however the people that know me well, knew that I always felt Victoria was my home.

"The Chengs indicated to me their intention to strengthen and develop Mark Lindsay the operation. Obviously, I have a strong connection to the farm and the opportunity really excited me".

Danielle Cheng, Managing Director of Sun Stud has welcomed the new addition to the farm. 

"Mark is an experienced operator and he knows the challenges and the commercial realities that exist for breeders. He is proactive and understands what we wish to achieve with the Sun Stud business".

Lindsay is clearly impressed with the current roster and what the future holds. 

"The progeny of first season sires Fighting Sun and Fiorente have shown potential while mainstay Magnus sits just outside the top 10 on the Australian General  Sires Table with 70 individual winners and over $4m in earnings for the season.

"Add to the mix exciting Group 1 winning two-year-old National Defense (by Invincible Spirit) and recent Group 2 winner Thronum (by Snitzel from the family of Street Cry and Shamardal) which will stand at Sun Stud in the near future".

Mark will be responsible for the Bloodstock Sales, Stallions and Client Relations part of the operation. He can be contacted on 0499 032 986 and mlindsay@sunstud.com.au

"Sun Stud will present 26 yearlings at the upcoming Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale and I can't wait to get back into the fold," said Lindsay.
