Divine Prophet
2025 fee: Unchanged at $9,000 +GST
Breeders take note: Divine Prophet is currently the 3rd NZ-based sire on the Australian Sires List (by prize money won) as at 28/05/25. He sits in 53rd place overall, having produced 76 winners of 107 races including two stakes winners this season.
Comment from Brent: “I have to admit to misreading the market when we arranged the deal to stand him in NZ. I thought he would be very popular given he is a Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas winner and full brother to Proisir, standing at a fraction of the service fee."
STOP PRESS! SEE YOU IN HEAVEN SOLD TO YULONG FOR A$1 MILLION.
Santos
2025 fee: Unchanged at $8,000 +GST
With basically only two very small crops to race he has a Group One winner and two Stakes Winners to his name. In the current season Santos has had an Australian Stakes Winner and in NZ the unlucky Stakes Placed Platinum Attack.
He is by the champion Australian sire I AM INVINCIBLE, and his first crop of NZ born foals are consistently good types and what you would expect from such an imposing individual.
Mr Mozart
2025 fee: Unchanged at $6,000 +GST
He has let down into a really imposing individual built in the mould of a real Australian sprinter/miler of course by the incomparable SNITZEL with an outstanding female pedigree behind him.
Mr Mozart covered 89 mares in his first season last year and his fertility was exceptional. The quality of mares covered was very good, in particular the support he received from our fellow owner James Chapman of Jamieson Park, who of course raced him.
We are eagerly awaiting his first foals.
Wrote
2025 fee: $12,000 +GST
Put simply, we have increased his fee to $12,000 +GST for 2025 because he deserves it.
Wrote is a massive upgrader of his mares and who knows where he will end up with the far better-quality mares that he covered in 2024 and that he is likely to cover in 2025.
He doesn’t have huge numbers racing but two individual Group winning mares in Australia this season, Pulchritudinous and Wrote to Araraki.
While he has enjoyed an excellent season to date it could have been even better. Read About It was the early favourite for the NZ Derby on the back of two stakes wins, but he went amiss with a throat infection. Midnight Edition won the G2 Auckland Guineas only to lose in an enquiry and Imprevu was beaten by the proverbial whisker in the G2 Westbury Stakes.
All the while, his small number of progeny racing in Hong Kong have performed in outstanding fashion. Chill Chibi followed on from his HK Derby placing in 2024 to win at Class 2 Level and Fast Network emerged and he looks to be a genuine chance to test Ka Ying Rising in the 2025/26 season. Wrote had seven individual winners from 10 runners in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong appetite for his progeny is increasing all the time.
In the last two NZB Book 2 Sales at Karaka his better colts have averaged in excess of $100,000 off the back of a $5,000 service fee.
Once again, he will be restricted to a book of approximately 100 mares in 2025. We feel he offers breeders great value and opportunity. His book will fill up fast.
