Warrior's Reward leads the Spendthrift Australia stallion roster for 2016

Spendthrift Australia has set fees for its current roster of four stallions that will stand the 2016 breeding season. All payable live foal fees remain the same as in 2015, and Spendthrift Australia has introduced the option of the "Breed Secure" program for all its stallions.

"We learned a lot in our inaugural season a year ago, and have invested further into our team and into our programs for 2016," said Garry Cuddy, general manager at Spendthrift Australia. "The team here is delighted and eager to get to work with breeders, both local and interstate, and we invite everyone to reach out to meet the team, visit the stallions, and get to know how the Breed Secure program works. We believe it's going to be a game-changer here in Australia, like it's been everywhere else Spendthrift has introduced it, and it will now be our job to make every breeder realize the benefit of it."

Breed Secure becomes the latest breeder-friendly program to be offered by Spendthrift Australia, the Victorian-based stud farm that debuted a year ago along with its "Share The Upside" program.

The following are Breed Secure fees and standard Payable On Live Foal fees for each stallion for 2016 (all fees are in Australian dollars and include GST):
