Outstanding sire Showcasing will not resume his shuttle career in New Zealand.

Haunui Farm in conjunction with England’s Whitsbury Manor Stud have announced that Showcasing will no longer shuttle to the Southern Hemisphere.

Showcasing’s stallion career has flourished at Whitsbury Manor Stud where he now commands a fully booked service fee of £35,000. He started his stud career in 2011 on a service fee of £5,000.

Whitsbury Manor Stud made a successful offer to purchase the 50% shareholding in Showcasing held by New Zealand-based shareholders.

The offer was accepted on the proviso that he would no longer shuttle to the Southern Hemisphere.

Showcasing has been represented by six stakes winners in the Southern Hemisphere this season including the 3YOs Be Bee and So Far Sokool and 2YO Group winners Xpression and Bit Lippy.

Showcasing stood at Haunui Farm last season for $12,000 + GST. He will be represented by three further racing crops in the Southern Hemisphere.
