It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Choisir at the age of 22. He sired an incredible 100 SWs in 12 countries and 11 G1Ws throughout the world an we were so lucky to have him.
Sincere condolences to all those who worked closely with this great horse.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Encosta De Lago at the age of 25. A multiple champion sire and current reigning champion broodmare sire, Encosta De Lago will be remembered as one of the greatest Australian-bred sires of all time.

“With Justify, his body, the way he was built, if he were a body builder, he would have been Mr. Universe. He could do it all. Justify, it’s very rare to see a horse like him. He was perfect…When he gets to Australia and they look at him they are going to go ‘wow’."– Bob Baffert
