Krug
This outstanding son of Bettors Delight stands his third season at stud in 2026
In 2024 he served a solid book of 27 mares after retiring and missing the start of the season.
Last year we were disappointed with his numbers, he only served 14…….but after seeing his first foals arrive last year we expect his numbers to increase.
The foals look outstanding….strong, athletic, sensible, willing and of a good size.
He has “dropped down” into a magnificent stallion…..a real case of…….”I Am My Fathers Son”
He was the “Pinup boy” of his generation, winning 4 Group 1’s
Was 2 and 3 yr old colt of his year
Won over $500k as a 3yr old and $800k in total
A stunning individual- he was a $155000 yearling!!
A son of the mighty Bettor’s Delight, from a wonderful JW Smolenski family.
Has no Direct Scooter in his pedigree, so all your In The Pocket, Christian Cullen, Mach Three mares and granddaughters of should be queuing up!!!
He has a wonderful temperament and looks to be an outstanding stallion prospect.
His fee of just $2500 plus GST looks to represent exceptional value
….and just $2000 plus GST if paid by Sept 30.

Royal Aspirations
Currently sitting third on the 2yr old sires list amongst some international super sires.(as of 3/6/26)
Not too many weeks don’t go by without a Royal Aspirations winner, he is doing a super job and it will only get better as his big crop of 2yr old race in 2026!!
As of 3/6/26…. 7 of this 2yr old crop have qualified, 3 have raced including the very promising types in TK Supersonic, Macey Royale and Royal Monarch
He is now the sire of ….. 33 winners of 128 races and over $1.7 million in stakes(as at 3/6/26)
Including 6 $100k winners and 12 $50k winners……they don’t just win a race or two, they go on!!
He is a top percentage sire….2035 saw him with 21 winners from 33 starters, an impressive 64%!!!
While, on the back of his early success as a sire we increased his fee in 2022 to $2500 plus GST, he went on to serve a sensational book of 107 mares.
This is quite an achievement for a NZ bred trotting stallion….
We continue to hear many positive reports from all around the country.
We look forward to seeing more qualifiers and winners in the coming months as his big 2yr old crop make an impact.
His fee for 2026 will remain $2500 plus GST
…….or just $2000 plus GST if paid by Sept 30th
We are also offering a “LOYALTY “ Fee for anyone who has bred to him in the past……..$2000 plus GST payable on 42 day positive
Locharburn
We said goodbye to Locharburn at the end of the season, while he did a nice job leaving some nice winners(JR Tolkien, Lochdarragh, Bannockburn and Capture Our Heart in Aus) he just didn’t get the numbers to have an impact and be viable as a stallion. He will continue to leave winners in the next few years and nothing would please me more than to see him leave a real good one……as we are seeing now with our former sire Imperial Count and Imperious Girl!!
