Newsells Unveils ‘Filly+’ Scheme

Newsells Park Stud yesterday announced the stud fees for its three resident stallions, as well as unveiling a new payment scheme for breeders. Dual Group 1 winner Nathaniel (Ire), who has enjoyed strong results with his first yearlings in sales rings this year, will remain at £20,000 for 2016, while Equiano (Fr) is down to £7,000 and Mount Nelson (GB) to £5,000.

Breeders using Equiano and Mount Nelson next year will have the option of taking either ‘filly foal, free return’ or ‘50% rebate’ terms should the resultant foal be a filly. These terms are in addition to Newsells’ Oct. 1 special live foal terms.

“We have always striven to offer great value to our customers and recognize that the market for the product of this type of stallion is extremely competitive,” explained Newsells Park General Manager Julian Dollar. “Rightly or wrongly the market for fillies is especially tough, so we felt some way to make life easier for our clients could only be a good thing. ‘Filly Foal, Free Return’ terms are nothing new, but I believe giving breeders the option of choosing a 50% rebate instead should they breed a filly foal is.”
