Golden Slipper Winner Farnan Has Fee Increased Following Strong Start At Stud

[Wandering Eyes]

Farnan, the G1 Golden Slipper winner, has had his fee increased at Kia Ora Stud in Australia to $77,000 following a strong start to his second career. 

Kia Ora's Bloodstock and Breeding Manager Shane Wright said the 2025 service fees were set with a strong focus on providing value and supporting breeders.

“We've set our fees with careful consideration for the challenges facing smaller breeders and have positioned them to deliver value and maximise returns. Each of our stallions offers a unique set of elite qualities, and we believe they represent outstanding value at this stage of their careers, with exciting futures ahead,” Wright said.

Farnan has been extremely popular at the yearling sales and on the racetrack, and his fee will increase from $55,000 inc GST to $77,000 inc GST. Farnan features prominently at the top of the Australian first-season sires' championship throughout the season and currently sits second by winners, stakes winners and third by prize-money.

“I couldn't be happier with the way that Farnan has launched his stud career,” Wright continued. “His progeny have always shown the early maturity, physicality, and temperament needed to compete at the highest level. We expected him to hit the ground running, and he's delivered exactly that.

“It's a huge achievement for Farnan at this stage of his career. When you look at what he's already accomplished with his progeny, not just winning Group races, but also producing quinellas. It really highlights the strength of his first crop, with large numbers still on their way through.”
