What a great looking Pastor…….siring great looking foals

Most champion athletes , whether two or four legged , nearly always look like they are born to run. The now 13 year old harness racing trotting stallion Pastor Stephen is no exception.

His handsome good looks, his breeding and his impressive racetrack performances are striking a chord with many astute breeders of the Trotting gait in Australia.

Last year there was a limited amount of Frozen semen available late in the season for Southern Hemisphere breeders and those mares are currently producing the first foals sired by Pastor Stephen outside the confines of Europe.

One of those foals is a strong, good looking colt from the mare La Tonneralla. So this colt is a half brother to the smart juvenile Jilliby Babavska 1.57.6 [2^nd in the 2017 Breeders Crown Final], whilst La Tonneralla herself is a half sister to the two Derby winners in New Zealand – King Charlie [Gt Northern Derby] and Shezoneoftheboyz [NZ Derby].

Another impressive colt is from Modern Pegasus, who is the half sister to the $100,000 winning Trotters Needabacardi $141,932 and Kyvalley Clichy $182,520.

There are a number of impressive mares who have been bred to Pastor Stephen this season including Watts Up Skye , who is a Skyvalley half sister to the exciting 3 year old Trotter Watts Up Majestic 1.54.2.

Breeding a Skyvalley [by Muscles Yankee] mare to Pastor Stephen looks to be a near perfect match based on the USA results of Stephen’s full brother Father Patrick. Seven of the top ten trotters sired by Father Patrick in USA are from mares sired by the Muscles Yankee/Yankee Glide line stallions.

Karaka Tooth , who is the dam of the recently retired super mare Red Hot Tooth 1.55.2 $525,225, is another high quality mare who will be bred to Pastor Stephen.

Pastor Stephen is available this season with fresh chilled semen and all of his resulting foals can be made Eligible for the lucrative VicBred Scheme.

He is producing high quality semen so if you are still deciding on a stallion for your trotting mare , you should have Pastor Stephen on the top of your shopping List.
