Andre Fabre-trained son of Australia to stand at Haras de la Hetraie
The Gestut Schlenderhan-raced and Andre Fabre-trained Group 1 winner Mare Australis (Australia) has been retired from racing and will stand atHaras de la Hetraie in Normandy in 2023.
The five-year-old son of Australia (Galileo) has won four of his 11 career starts, highlighted by a victory in last year's Group 1 Prix Ganay (2100m) at Longchamp.
Bred by the Von Ullmann family, Mare Australia is one of five top level winners for his sire and is out of the stakes placed mare Miramare (Rainbow Quest), a half-sister to Group 2 scorer Macleya and Group 3 winner Montclair.
Pascal Noue of Haras de la Hetraie said: "He's got everything physically. Group 1 winners over 2100/2400 meters have done well as the sire of jumpers and we are particularly happy to welcome such a quality new stallion.
"He's also a winner of the Prix Ganay, like Pastorius who has had plenty of successs on both the Flat and over obstacles this year with the likes of Dalika, Parol, Riocorvo, Josubie, Alycone Rouge and Zenta."
