Haunui Farm is pleased to
announce that both IFFRAAJ (GB) (Zafonic) and BELARDO (Ire) (Lope
De Vega) will be returning to New Zealand for the 2019 breeding season.
IFFRAAJ needs no introduction as one of New Zealand's leading
sires. The sire of 68 stakes winners worldwide, IFFRAAJ is a
proven, G1 sire on the International stage. A sire that leaves Karaka
Million winners, Classic 3YO's, Champion Middle Distance and WFA performers, he
will stand at an unchanged fee of $25,000 + GST and as always, will serve a
limited book of mares.
Exciting young sire BELARDO , whose first foals have created quite the
impression in both hemispheres, will also stand at an unchanged fee of $12,000
+ GST. A Champion 2YO and dual G1 winner, BELARDO is the only son
of LOPE DE VEGA (Ire) (Shamardal) at stud in Australasia and represents
a sire line that has enjoyed tremendous success worldwide. His first crop
weanlings in the Northern Hemisphere have sold up to €77,000 and Southern
Hemisphere buyers will get their first chance to see them at Karaka and the
Gold Coast in May.
Haunui Farm's Managing Director, Mark Chitty says, "We are obviously very happy
to have both stallions coming back to the Haunui serving barn in 2019 and we
are grateful for the fantastic support we have received from Darley over many
years in allowing us to stand the stallions at such value.
"One of the biggest factors in our stallion market at the present time is
maintaining relevance in our major markets and we believe both IFFRAAJ and BELARDO tick that box.
"The past 12 months has seen JUNGLE CAT become IFFRAAJ's fourth
G1 winner in Australia and last week he enjoyed success at the Sydney Easter
Sale with the full sister to ATC Derby winner JON SNOW fetching $460,000
– second only to SAVABEEL for a New Zealand based sire. Whilst BELARDO's sire LOPE DE VEGA continues to go from strength to strength with SANTA
ANA LANE running out an impressive winner of the G1 TJ Smith on the first
day of The Championships."
