Dorrington Farm Reduction

Successful breeding operation Dorrington Farm has entrusted new website Bloodstock Central to assist in a reduction of 13 mares.

“I chatted with Damon Gabbedy of Belmont Bloodstock on the Gold Coast and I liked the concept of Bloodstock Central,” Robert Crabtree of Dorrington Farm said.

“Damon explained that it was a way of combining the expertise of six leading bloodstock agencies to assist in the marketing and sales of bloodstock to a wider audience.

“Last year I sent 38 mares to stud which is way above my usual numbers and in the next eighteen months I will have the likes of stakeswinning mares Sheidel, Miss Promiscuity and Gabella retiring to stud hence I have decided to reduce overall numbers.”

Crabtree has had great success with his homebred stallion Magnus, a Group One winner on the track and now one of the leading sires in Australia.

Standing at Sun Stud, Magnus is the sire of Group 1 winners Malaguerra and Magnifiso and an additional 24 stakes performers including Miss Promiscuity, Prince Of Brooklyn, Magnapal and Platinum Kingdom. Magnus boasts and impressive winners to runners statistic of 70% and his progeny has earned over $22 Million in prizemoney.

The reduction includes mares in foal to Magnus, Choisir, Star Witness, Rubick, Sepoy and Kermadec.

There are 3 mares being sold with foals at foot by Shooting To Win, Foxwedge and Sizzling.
