Grandview Stud has announced the 2023 service fees for QTIS stallions Winning Rupert and Neorealism.
Winning Rupert will stand for $7,700 including GST and Neorealism will stand for $3,300 including GST, no change to their fees from last season.
Grandview Stud owner Michael Grieve said Winning Rupert and Neorealism represent exceptional value and diversity for breeders targetting both domestic and Asian markets.
WINNING RUPERT
• Oldest crop are 4yos.
• Leading 3rd Season Sire in Queensland this season (at 3 May).
• 54% winners to runners (career).
• Sire of 5 stakes horses in It’sarayday, Jemeldi, Tonneofgrit, Winning Revolution & Bolsonaro.
• Covered a strong book of mares last season in his 1st season in Queensland at Grandview Stud.
• Being free of Danzig / Danehill, Winning Rupert offers a rare outcross for breeders.
Michael Grieve:
“Winning Rupert fits the profile perfectly as a stallion for Queensland breeders. He was bred in Queensland and produced his record-breaking performances on the track in Queensland.
“His sire Written Tycoon stood in Queensland at a similar stage of his career and clicked with Queensland mares siring Capitalist and Winning Rupert in his first Queensland crop.
“Winning Rupert is arguably the hottest young sire in Queensland with over 50 winners and climbing this season from 3 crops. He has sired 5 stakes horses so far with more capable of joining them in the coming months.
“We’re excited to offer Winning Rupert at such great value enabling breeders to capitalise on the lucrative QTIS bonus scheme.”
NEOREALISM
• Group 1 winner by a leading son of legendary Sunday Silence from one of Japan’s best families.
• Offers breeders a Japanese blueblood in Queensland.
• Three-quarter brother to Group 1 winner Real Impact who proved himself under Australian conditions.
• Female sire line features Hold Your Peace, sire of one of Australia’s best pedigree influences, Success Express, responsible for the female line of Winx.
• First crop are 2yos.
• Sire of an impressive 2YO winner Tanoshi from limited numbers to race.
Michael Grieve:
“We received good support for Neorealism in his first season with us and we’re expecting that to grow this coming season.
“Neorealism has sired a smart 2yo winner in Queensland from limited numbers to hit the track and we’re confident that will increase as more emerge from his first crop.
“It’s fantastic for Queensland breeding to have a stallion of his Group 1 winning racing ability from an exceptional Group 1 family in Japan.
“Neorealism offers breeders access to an outcross sire-line that will suit Australia’s colonial pedigrees.”
