Niagara and Roc de Cambes also unchanged at NZ$5,000
The Oaks Stud resident Darci Brahma (Danehill) will stand the 2020 season for an unchanged fee of NZ$15,000 (plus GST), while his barnmates Niagara (Encosta De Lago) and Roc de Cambes (Red Ransom) will also stand for unaltered fees of NZ$5,000 (plus GST).
Darci Brahma’s progeny have enjoyed a lucrative time on the track so far this season, with the sire represented by nine stakes winners - headed by New Zealand 2,000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Catalyst, who was followed home in the Group 1 by another son of the sire in Harlech.
A sire of ten Group 1 winners to date, Darci Brahma’s progeny have performed at the elite level in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong and he has been the champion sire in Singapore on six occasions.
From limited race day runners, Niagara has made an impressive start to his stud career. He is the sire of Group 1 performer Beyond The Fort and Waikato Guineas (Gr 2, 2000m) winner Xbox, who has since been sold to Hong Kong.
Niagara has had 21 race day starters in Australia for 15 winners, and has sired a total of 56 winners worldwide from 107 runners.
Roc de Cambes, the sire of Group 1 winners He’s Our Rokki and Vin de Dance, completes The Oaks Stud stallion roster for 2020.
Roc de Cambes has been well represented by several promising horses this season including Listed winner Seven Seas and Rock In The Park who both look promising contenders for the spring.
