Newsells Park Stud puts the focus on developing its key dynasties
Martin Stevens speaks to Julian Dollar about the operation's breeding in 2020
Newsells Park Stud has a conspicuously commercial outlook, needing to present almost all of the stock it breeds for sale and to ensure a good portion of its graduates are top-class to keep customers coming back for more.

Newsells Park has been the leading consignor by gross at the past two editions of Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, and featured in the top five vendors at that auction every year since 2012. During that time it has sold no fewer than 11 seven-figure lots.
