By leading European sire Pivotal, Captain Rio was a high class two and three year old sprinter with an Annual Timeform rating of 122. Retired to stud in 2004 Captain Rio has made an auspicious start to his stud career, siring New Zealand's Champion 2YO filly Il Quello Veloce from his first southern hemisphere crop and a further three stakeswinners from his initial European crop. |

Standing at stud for the first time in 2008, Cecconi is a son of Australia's Champion Sire Encosta de Lago and was trained throughout his career by international trainer David Hayes at Lindsay Park. The winner of the Blue Diamond Preview at two in a very smart 57.7 seconds for the 1000m, Cecconi is out of the dual stakeswinner Tonicity and closely related to Golden Slipper Stakes winner Stratum. |

One of New Zealand's proven sires, Faltaat has consistently produced high quality performers year in and year out.

A dual Group 1 winning miler and the winner of 7 of his 10 starts, Librettist was unbeaten in his first two starts as a juvenile but did not race at three due to niggling injuries. Returning to the track after a 599 day layoff, Librettist proved unbeatable, winning his first five starts in succession and resting the title of France's Champion Miler in 2006. On the score of pedigree it doesn't come any better, an imposing son of the legendary Danzig Librettist is a half brother to Queen Anne Stakes winner Dubai Destination, while he is a three-quarter brother to the July Cup winner Agnes World |

A great looking son of the Preakness Stakes winner Summer Squall, from the female family of Storm Cat and Royal Academy; Postponed has made a huge impact with his initial crops in New Zealand. A Group 2 winner in his own right on the track, Postponed has produced 5 stakes winners from 49 runners in his first crop, which includes the outstanding Group 1 winners Past Post and Dorabella, the high class two-year-old Naturo, and the Macau Derby and Gold Cup winner Farson. With 174 foals from his past two crops, it is fair to say that the best is still to come for Postponed and the future looks extremely bright for the imposing looking bay. | |
