Standing Lindsay Park in
conjunction with Collingrove Stud have announced their decision to re-locate
one of Australia's leading sires, JEUNE (GB), to stand at Collingrove Stud in
Victoria. The announcement ends
weeks of speculation and debate as to whether or not the top sire would be
moved to the larger market of Victoria. "It was a tough
decision and not one made lightly," Lindsay Park Principal David Hayes
said. "It did however
become increasingly obvious after Jeune had such a stellar season that moving
him to Collingrove was in the best interests of the stallion and his
shareholders," Hayes said. With multiple Group One
winners this season headed by dual Group One winner Mummify, Jeune is now
firmly entrenched in Australia's top five active sires. "With six stakes
winners combined with his consistency in terms of wins, winners and prize
money Jeune is a huge boost to Collingrove's stallion ranks and indeed to
Victorian breeding generally," Adam Sangster said. Jeune moves to
Collingrove with the backing of consistently strong books of mares in recent
seasons at Lindsay Park. His yearling sale prices have also started to
reflect his progenies race track performances with his Adelaide Magic
Millions stock selling up to $100,000 and averaging $52,000. David Hayes is confident
that Jeune's move to Victoria will also benefit those breeders that have
supported the stallion in the past. "He will attract
greater awareness in the Eastern States and in doing so he will attract
better quality mares and more attention at Australia's premier yearling sales,"
Hayes said. BLUE BLOOD JOINS THE
