Figures released by Michael Ford, Keeper of the Australian Stud Book, show that Thoroughbred coverings for 2008 will be around 26,100 mares with Fastnet Rock (pictured) the busiest of all stallions last spring covering 248 mares at Coolmore in the Hunter Valley.
Friday 8th December will see buyers last opportunity in 2006 to lay their hands on quality bloodstock when William Inglis & Son have their final sale of the year, the Christmas Thoroughbred Sale.
