2023 has been a tremendous year for Swettenham Stud and our stallions so far!
Adam Sangster and the team would like to thank everyone for their ongoing support. These outstanding results such as Toronado’s Shesallshenanigans dominating the $1m VOBIS Showdown are not possible without you, the breeder.
In just 5 starts, Shesallshenanigans has accumulated $783,250 in prizemoney along with $94,400 in VOBIS bonuses and vouchers.

Shesallshenanigans’ win was just the cherry on top of what was a mammoth few days for Toronado. Our son of High Chaparral has produced a whopping 17 winners since Saturday, April 8th.A treble on Thursday was followed by another treble on Friday.

On Saturday he sired 4 winners, including a third consecutive victory by rising Hong Kong star Victor The Winner.

A stellar weekend was capped off on Sunday with Toronado gelding Come Right Back winning the $100,000 Geraldton Cup.

Toronado – Swettenham Stud

Superior Outcross

Biggest & best crops still to come
Sales Ring Reputation

Toronado has done a phenomenal job at stud so far, but it is what’s to come that is most exciting.
In 2023, we will see his best crop to date hit the ground. Big numbers from outstanding mares have Toronado perfectly positioned to be the successor to Champions such as I Am Invincible, Written Tycoon and Snitzel.

Toronado’s ideal size, versatility, outstanding conformation, exceptional fertilty and outcross pedigree make him a suitable companion for the best Australian mares.

RUBICK

By Encosta De Lago, out of Rock Of Gibraltar (IRE) mare Sliding Cube.

Serious Stallion Pedigree
Massive Upside

Rubick has enjoyed a very prosperous 2022-23 season to date, siring 5 stakes winners of 8 stakes races, highlighted by Jacquinot’s pair of Group 1 wins. He remains a top-3 active sire in Australia under $30,000.
Champions I Am Invincible and Snitzel are the only sires at stud to have more 3yo earnings and stakes wins than him this season!

Rubick is a ball of muscle with a terrific nature and asserts himself as a significant source of speed for all breeders.

Lonhro, Danehill, Elusive Quality, Bel Esprit, More Than Ready, Red Ransom…Rubick has enjoyed success with a wide range of pedigrees.

WOODED (IRE)
2017 – 2nd Australian season – Bay or Brown 16.2hh

Wooded – Swettenham Stud

Outcross from booming young sireline
Elite Fertility
Two outstanding foal crops already in Europe (Pictured)
Incredibly Good-looking

Wooded returns as one of the most exciting young sires in Victoria. A powerful Gr.1 winning sprinter, outcross Wooded is physical perfection for the Australian mare pool.

Wooded stands at 16.2hh and presents with more scope and leg than the typical speed sire, an ideal trait to partner with our colonial mares.

If you have a mare with poor fertility, Wooded is the man for the job. He boasts an impeccable breeding record.

PUISSANCE DE LUNE (IRE)
2008 – 9th season – Grey 16.2hh
By Shamardal (USA), out of Unbridled’s Song (USA) mare Princess Serena (USA).
Service Fee – $14,300 incl GST
Puissance De Lune – Swettenham Stud

✓ Proven Value
✓ Biggest and best crops will be running when you sell!
✓ Outcross son of a Blue Hen mare

Puissance De Lune continues to produce winners, week-in week-out.
A sire with an ability to produce quality middle distance and speed horses, Puissance De Lune boasted a better metropolitan than all top-10 sires last season.

Our grey stallion is perfect for any mare that is looking for a sire with scope and substance.

Puissance De Lune is a serious chance to kick with further success, just like we saw with Rubick – get in now, reap the rewards in the near future.

I AM IMMORTAL
2016 – 4th season – Bay 16.2hh
By I Am Invincible, out of Ad Valorem (USA) mare Meliora.
Service Fee – $13,750 incl GST
I Am Immortal – Swettenham Stud

✓ Vinnie Speed, Vobis Riches
✓ Value access to superior genetics
✓ Huge chance – Average book of over 100 mares

I Am Immortal’s first crop will hit Australian racetracks in 2023. They have already impressed breakers and we will be very surprised if he is the sire of winners before Christmas.

I Am Immortal is another outcross sire, very much in the mould of his Champion sire I Am Invincible. He is a beast of a horse and puts plenty of size and strength into his foals. Neat, speedy mares produce very nice types with him.
