Established sires DISSIDENT and SIZZLING comprise the Riverdene Stud stallion roster for another covering season with the Riverina-based outfit confirming that the Group 1 winning duo will again stand at an advertised service fee of $5,500 (inc. GST) on live foal payment terms.

Fees Set for Dissident and Sizzling

Two proven sires with over 120 individual winners this season between them will comprise the 2023 Riverdene Stud stallion roster, and at a reduced advertised service fee from last year’s covering season despite a steady stream of ongoing success.

Riverdene Stud Confirm 2022 Fees

Riverdene Stud principal Kevin Pendergast has confirmed that the 2022 service fees for his three resident stallions will remain the same as last season even in light of the progress all three sires have made in the past 12 months, and in particular the outfit’s former Horse of the Year and multiple Group 1 winner Dissident.

Sizzling's Secret Blaze Claims the JRA Cup

Injury restricted the Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained Secret Blaze to just four starts in 2020 but the son of Sizzling looked back to his best with a dominant performance in Friday night’s Group III Steamatic JRA Cup (2040m) at Moonee Valley.

Sizzling to Stand at Riverdene Stud

Riverdene Stud is to stand four stallions this coming breeding season following a recent decision made by the management group of Sizzling to relocate the progressive sire-son of Snitzel to the Wagga-based thoroughbred nursery.

Sizzling Filly Defies The Odds

Just six runners went to the post the QTIS Two-Year-Old over 1200 metres at Doomben on Saturday with three by Spirit Of Boom and two by Spill The Beans but the David Vandyke-trained Sizzling filly Red Stiletto saw them all off and earn a trip to the Gold Coast for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on January 11.
