26 Apr 23

Arrowfield Stud on Wednesday 26/4 announced Service Fees for the seven stallions on the Stud’s 2023 roster.

The roster is headed by four-time Champion Sire Snitzel who had his Service Fee lifted in 2023 up $25,000 + GST to $247,500 inc. GST.

Arrowfield’s Chairman John Messara says, “We have raised the fees of three stallions, with four horses at unchanged figures, after careful consideration of their current performance and commercial appeal, recognising the different stages they are at, and the economic environment.”

“I’m happy with where we’ve landed for all our stallions who offer a range of sire-lines, aptitudes and physiques to meet the requirements of Australia’s most discerning breeders. And for the first time, all Arrowfield stallions will stand on Live Foal terms.”

Snitzel, the pre-eminent son of Redoute’s Choice remains at the top of his game, with 17 stakes winners this season including his second Golden Slipper winner Shinzo, 10 yearlings sold for $1 million or more and the prospect of a fourth Champion 2YO Sire title.

He has had a Service Fee increase of $25,000 + GST which is 12.5%.
