Widden Stud arrives at Riverside buoyed by a standout season, headlined by champion sire Zoustar (Northen Meteor) and a wave of high-performing 2-year-olds. Their draft reflects that momentum, featuring a strong contingent of Zoustar progeny supported by select yearlings from sires such as Snitzel and I Am Invincible. With a balance of athletic types, commercial appeal, and residual value, Widden once again presents a draft built to perform both in the ring and on the track.

Yulong’s ever-expanding operation continues to raise the bar, bringing a deep and diverse draft shaped by global ambition and elite investment. Progeny by Alabama Express, Written Tycoon, and Frankel headline the offering, underpinned by some of the most sought-after broodmares in the Southern Hemisphere. Off the back of a stellar year on the racetrack, Yulong’s yearlings combine precocity, strength, and international pedigree, positioning them firmly among the sale’s standout contenders.
Cressfield and Kia Ora Stud add further depth with carefully curated drafts that emphasize quality and consistency. From proven black-type families to the progeny of Australia’s most reliable sires, their yearlings showcase the strength of established breeding programs. With strong recent racetrack results reinforcing their reputations, both farms bring offerings that are expected to resonate strongly with buyers seeking performance, pedigree, and long-term value at one of the world’s premier yearling sales.
