Highview Stud have announced the service fees for their quartet of stallions this coming breeding season, headlined by Group One producer Wrote, who will stand for a fee of $12,000+GST.
A Group One winner himself of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Stakes (1600m), Wrote sired last year’s Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) heroine Pulchritudinous, while his stakes-winning honour roll also includes Group One performer Best Seller and Group Two winner Wrote to Araraki.
“We have increased his fee to $12,000+GST for 2025 because he deserves it,” Highview’s Brent Gillovic said. “He is a massive upgrader of his mares and who knows where he will end up with the far better-quality mares that he covered in 2024, and that he is likely to cover in 2025.
“He doesn’t have huge numbers racing, but has two individual Group-winning mares in Australia – Pulchritudinous and Wrote to Araraki.
“He will be restricted to a book of approximately 100 mares in 2025 and we feel he offers breeders great value and opportunity.”
Wrote will once again be joined by Divine Prophet, a Group One-winning full-brother to Champion New Zealand stallion Proisir, and he will stand for a fee of $9,000+GST.
Highview’s stallion roster will be completed by Santos and Mr Mozart, who will stand at unchanged fees of $8,000+GST and $6,000+GST respectively.
