ONE of the best younger sires in Australia at this time is Nicconi, a handsome former leading sprinter by the Danzig sire Bianconi (USA) who stands at the Widden Stud.
Uniquely, the Widden Stud in the Widden Valley, a spur off the south western end of the Hunter Valley, has two young sires in its historic stallion yards shaping up very good winner-getters who were not only brilliant Group 1 winning Australian racehorses, but also performers who turned in good efforts in one of England’s most prestigious sprints, the King’s Stand at Royal Ascot.
Five sires, all Australian products who have captured the annual Champion Australian Sire title on earnings, will be among the mouthwatering collection of at least 70 which will be shown to invited disciples of breeding and racing when Hunter Valley studs conduct their pre season Stallion Parades in the period August 21-25.
Widden Stud has announced its service fees for 2013 on a top class roster of nine stallions headlined by Golden Slipper winning sires Stratum and Sebring.
