TBA Flat Stallion Parade to feature ten budget stallions

Ten stallions who are embarking on their first and second seasons at stud will feature in this month's TBA Flat Stallion Parade on January 31 at Park Paddocks in Newmarket.

The parade will commence at 11am in the sales ring before the start of the Tattersalls February Sale.

Fees for the first and second-season stallions range from £2,000 to £8,500 and include Flying Five Stakes scorer Havana Grey - who is pitched in by Whitsbury Manor Stud at an £8,000 fee - and Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Lancaster Bomber - who will stand his first season at the National Stud at an £8,500 fee.

Among those standing for £5,000 or less is Lancaster Bomber's studmate and Coventry Stakes scorer Rajasinghe, who is introduced at £5,000, and Batsford Stud newcomer and St Leger hero Harbour Law, who breeders can avail of for £4,000.

The parading stallions will be available to view after the event in the Left and Right Yards, where they will be joined by Cockney Rebel, Equiano, Gregorian and Pearl Secret.

TBA chief executive Claire Sheppard said: "This year's parade will showcase eight new recruits to the stallion ranks and see the return of second-season sires Ardad and Time Test.

"The event has always been an excellent opportunity for breeders to view stallions on the first day of the February Sale and meet with stud managers to discuss nomination enquiries.

"The TBA team will be on site in the Left and Right Yards to answer any questions and we would like to thank Tattersalls and Weatherbys for their continued support of this event which raises awareness of the latest stallions available to breeders before the start of the covering season."
