Who’s your favourite Kiwi stallion?
Cherry Taylor - Trelawney Stud: Has to be Savabeel, but I also really love Satono Aladdin.
Andrew Seabrook - New Zealand Bloodstock: Sir Tristram fuelled my passion for the game. There's never been another like him.
John Galvin - Fortuna: Darci Brahma.
Henry Plumptre - Cambridge Stud: Proisir.
Paul Moroney - Paul Moroney Bloodstock: Proisir.
Kylie Bax - Bax Bloodstock: Back in the day there was a stallion called Pompeii Court. I remember picking him out as a young girl as the next top Kiwi sire. But I will never forget Star Way.
Russell Warwick - Westbury Stud: Have to say El Roca – having designed the mating, reared the horse, and to see him doing so well now at stud is very satisfying.
Wade Smith - Westbury Stud: El Roca. His progeny are doing so well and the best is yet to come.
Bruce Perry - Bruce Perry Bloodstock (BAFNZ): Savabeel.
Luigi Muollo - Novara Park: Sweynesse, he is the best-looking horse at stud in New Zealand.
Gallery: Industry professionals state who their favourite Kiwi stallion is
Nick Fairweather - Carlaw Park: Currently Satono Aladdin, of all time, Zabeel.
Rick Williams - The Oaks Stud: Zabeel.
Cam Rodger - Entain: Savabeel.
Jo Griffin - Lime Country Thoroughbreds: If we’re talking current stallions, hands down Savabeel, who doesn’t want a Savabeel filly to join their broodmare band at some stage? Otherwise, we’ve loved every Almanzor we’ve had through our hands in Australia, so we’re fans of a young stallion as him too.
Caroline Searcy - Searcy Media: I really love the horses Per Incanto throws, they have a magnificent action and that translates to the great success he's had as a sire of Australian Group 1 winners, but I do have a soft spot for Tivaci - I love the High Chaparral's but I also remember his dam well, Breccia - a daughter of Fastnet Rock bought by my partner Duncan Ramage from Trelawney Stud as a yearling. She hails from the same family as my Rose Among Thorns, both tracing back to the huge broodmare influence, 1945 Melbourne Cup winner Rainbird.
Eva Heron - Highling Thoroughbreds: Proisir.
Wayne Stewart - White Robe Lodge: Savabeel.
