Hampton Court Retired to Spendthrift
Last year’s G1 Spring Champion S. winner Hampton Court (Aus) (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}–Roses ‘n’ Wine, by Broken Vow) has been retired from racing and will join the inaugural group of stallions to stand at Spendthrift Australia later this year. The 3-year-old, an A$500,000 Inglis Easter yearling trained by Gai Waterhouse, is the first colonial stallion to join Spendthrift Australia’s breeding program and will stand for A$11,000 as part of the Share the Upside program, and A$8,800 standard live foal contract.
“We are thrilled to be able to stand Hampton Court at Spendthrift Australia in our inaugural season,” said B. Wayne Hughes, owner of Spendthrift Australia. “It was important for us to bring in a colonial horse that will be exciting for breeders. He’s a record-breaking, Group 1-winning son of sire of sires Redoute’s Choice, and we’re looking forward to sharing him with the Australian breeders through our Share The Upside Program.”
