Shamus Award wins 3 year Old Gelding of the Year award

Our Champion stallion Shamus Award has topped the votes and won the Herald Sun Champion Three-Year-Old Colt or Gelding of the Year award.

The son of Snitzel won the Sportingbet Cox Plate (2040m), and became the first horse to also win the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) in the same season.

Shamus Award has now retired from racing and is standing at Widden Stud and we are pleased to confirm several mares are now pregnant

Mares pregnant at Widden Stud

At Sean Buckley’s Widden Stud is it an exciting time as the breeding season is now in full swing and several winning mares are pregnant.  Widden Stud are in the envious position of standing two of the hottest sire prospects of 2014 in Champion 3yo Shamus Award and Champion 3yo sprinter Zoustar.

Zoustar and Shamus Award’s approach and performance in their new careers has been absolutely exemplary. Both young stallions are incredibly popular and we’re thrilled to announce that we have a number of mares already with pregnancies including Group winner FUDDLE DEE DUDDLE (Zoustar) and Group One winner PERFECT PROMISE (Shamus Award) ,” said Widden’s Antony Thompson.
“Thankfully, like they did in their race careers, these two fine young stallions haven’t let us down. At this early stage they both have excellent libido and are proving exceptionally fertile.“
