ZED 2011

Zed (Zabeel - Emerald Dream by Danehill) offers breeders a unique opportunity to access a bloodline without peer in Australasia and all for just a booking fee of $1,000 plus GST with a 75% refund for barren mares. Consider the facts;

Racehorse. Zed was no unraced stallion hurried off to stud. A commanding debut win in the summer of 2006 rocketed him to favouritism for the NZ Derby before reoccurrence of an injury as a juvenile sidelined him after a 6^th in a very competitive Waikato Guineas at just his second career start.

Bloodline. Zabeel and Danehill have dominated the stallion ranks in Australasia over the last fifteen years. During that time the most sought after female family in both countries has been that originating from the Cambridge Stud mare Eight Carat and Emerald Dream is a great grand daughter of the remarkable matron.

Stallion Family. Emerald Dream is a sister in blood to leading Australian sires Danewin and Commands and the Eight Carat dynasty has produced other successful sires such as Kaapstad with emerging stallions Don Eduardo and Viscount the latest headline acts.

Fertility. With over 90 percent fertility from nearly 320 mares served in his first four seasons at stud Zed offers breeders a sensible option for fertility plagued mares.

Progeny Zed is very much his fathers son in the way he stamps his prrogeny, strong, athletic, with plenty of bone. Trainers and breakers are very complimentary of his first youngsters to hit the track with five to the trials for a win, 2 x seconds and 2 x fourths.

Where else can you get such a close genetic relation to two of Australia's most proven stallions with the blood of the mighty Zabeel thrown in, all for a booking fee of $1,000 plus GST. If the saying blood is thicker than water holds any credence then Zed look's a great investment.
