Cable Bay given green light to shuttle to Woodside Park Stud in Australia

The southern hemisphere shareholders and UK partners of the promising first season sire Cable Bay have agreed that the horse will travel to Australia for the 2019 breeding season.

The horse had been subject of a court order that halted his shuttle trip due to injury.

He will now depart on a flight from the UK on August 15 and will arrive at Woodside Park Stud’s Tylden-based farm on August 31.

Cable Bay has shuttled for the past two years to Woodside Park Stud where he has covered 219 mares with the support of shareholders including Black Caviar’s breeder Rick Jamieson of Gilgai Farm, B2B Thoroughbreds’ Ricky Surace and Mark Rowsthorn’s Woodside Park Stud.

Cable Bay has made a strong start with his first crop juveniles recording 13 individual winners, including Liberty Beach, winner of the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood.

Woodside Park Stud’s James Price told ANZ Bloodstock News that he was delighted with the outcome for shareholders and supporters of the stallion: “His 2019 book is full with many highly credentialled mares to be covered this season.

"We greatly appreciate the efforts and high level of service provided to Cable Bay while in quarantine by IRT. Australian breeders are acknowledging the ability of his juveniles in Europe so I am thrilled they have access to him this year.”
