Of the key components that determine yearling selection, the most underrated is the farm on which the horse is reared.
Pedigree, type, veterinary approval and price are also significant but how a horse develops from birth to the sale ring is vital.
Saturday’s Group 1 STRADBROKE winner THINK ABOUT IT was bred & raised at Newgate Farm and will represent their slot in THE EVEREST in October.
From humble beginnings in 2010, Newgate has risen swiftly to become a colossus of the racing world. Their ethos is that horses should be raised as naturally as possible to give them the raw strength and resilience required of top-class athletes. Based on the below stats, whatever they are doing is working!
674 individual winners
66 Stakes winners
11 Group 1 winners
More than DOUBLE the amount of 2YO Stakes winners this season than any other farm in Australia
Leading vendor at Magic Millions for the last 2 years
Leading vendor at Inglis Classic for the last 3 years
Proven Thoroughbreds’ strike rate with graduates of Newgate currently sits at 100% with 3 winners from 3 to race, highlighted by the aforementioned THINK ABOUT IT.
This record, and Newgate’s meteoric rise, prompted us to acquire another three yearlings from the prime Hunter Valley stud in 2023.
