Premium reduction draft via Nutrien QBRED Sale

Baring Bloodstock & Clients are proud to present a major Premium Reduction Draft, offered exclusively online through the Nutrien QBRED Select Sale on September 23, 24 and 25.

This outstanding consignment represents a once-in-a-decade opportunity for buyers to secure quality bloodstock across every sector of the market — from Sunshine Stars-eligible yearlings to ready-to-race prospects and elite broodmares in foal to world-class sires.

Yearlings – Fully QBRED & Sunshine Stars Eligible

The draft features seven outstanding QBRED yearlings, all fully paid into the lucrative Sunshine Stars Series, making them eligible for:

• Group 1 QBRED Triad Series (2YO & 3YO, each sex)
• Sunshine Stars Finals: $125,000 (2YO each sex), $100,000 (3YO each sex), $50,000 (4YO each sex)
• National Series “Double Dip” (2024 est.): 2 x $175,000 (2YO each sex) and 2 x $100,000 (3YO each sex)

As Australia’s premier breeding incentive program, QBRED delivers over $4 million annually in bonuses and stakes, including:

• $14,000 First Win Bonus
• $7,500 Second Win Bonus
• $3,000 Third Win Bonus
• $1,000 Cash Bonuses (all races <$4,500)
• Exclusive Group 1 Triads & QBRED-only series

These yearlings are drawn from some of Australia’s strongest maternal families, combining proven pedigrees with correct conformation and exceptional earning potential.

Ready-to-Race Prospects

The draft also includes five highly sought-after QBRED 2YOs, each with a strong foundation of three short preps plus one extended prep (6–12 weeks). Among them:

• A Bettors Delight colt out of Australia’s fastest Christian Cullen mare
• Two American Ideal fillies from Kevin Seymour’s best family, out of half-sisters to million-dollar winner Colt Thirty One and champion producer Charming Allie
• A Captain Crunch filly, half-sister to last season’s $100,000 2YO winner Hunger Strike
• A Sweet Lou filly from the famous Miss Duvall U7 family

Several have already trialled or qualified off limited preps, meaning they will be ready to race and win quickly next campaign.

Elite Broodmares in Foal

A feature of the draft is 12 high-quality broodmares in foal to the Southern Hemisphere’s most commercial stallions, including:

• Captaintreacherous – global sire of champions
• Art Major – brilliance and toughness combined
• Confederate – the most exciting new stallion on the scene
• Always B Miki – fastest horse of all time, now a leading sire
• Huntsville – consistent source of fast, durable stock

For breeders looking to invest in proven bloodlines with immediate upside, this represents rare buying power.

Why This Draft is Unmissable

The QBRED scheme is unrivalled in Australian harness racing, delivering unmatched bonuses, stakes and resale advantages. With more than $4 million in rewards each year, buyers can confidently invest knowing they’re maximising both earning potential and breeding value.

Equally compelling is the depth of pedigree represented. Baring Bloodstock is recognised for assembling stock from maternal families that consistently deliver at the highest level. These are families that have already produced Group 1 winners across Australasia and continue to build influence through every generation.

As a Premium Reduction Draft, this consignment offersrare access to volume and quality in one place. Whether your focus is racing, breeding or resale, this is a buying opportunity unlikely to be repeated.

Dean Baring, Principal of Baring Bloodstock, commented:

“This sale is about offering genuine quality across the board. From Sunshine Stars yearlings and ready-to-race prospects to mares in foal by world-class sires, we’ve worked hard to assemble a draft that delivers opportunity at every level.”

He added the decision to reduce numbers comes solely due to a family health battle:

“We plan to reinvest back into the industry after a short 12-month break. This is about timing and circumstance — not stepping away.”
