With the Magic Millions QTIS Sale just around the corner and the Queensland breeding community set to come together, the market has been seeking some clarity as to the future plans for Champion First Season Sire 2018/19 SIDESTEP. In great news, Darley Stallions and Telemon Thoroughbreds have announced that SIDESTEP will continue to stand in Queensland.
Telemon foundation stallion SIDESTEP has had a prolific start to 2020. From his past nine runners he has sired three new winners with another three runner-up. This string of strong performers comes on the back of the stallion covering his highest quality book of mares across the latest Spring, heavily supported by leading local and interstate breeders.
Telemon’s first full calendar year of operations included a number of highlights. As we all know, thoroughbred breeding and racing can be a rollercoaster ride. With a new year on us, here is a reflection of our many special moments in 2019 in pictures. Unfortunately, the one thing we can’t celebrate is the season and we look forward to some desperately needed rain in the new year.
Through the deeds of her Group 1 winning daughter SUNLIGHT and another headline-making offspring in SISSTAR this Spring, SOLAR CHARGED has become a star broodmare. In this feature, we unpack the SOLAR CHARGED story – a beautiful mare that we are grateful to own in partnership.
It’s an exciting time of year with plenty happening both on and off the track. We thought we would reflect on some of our highlight moments in this blog. During September our stallion Sidestep was crowned Champion First Season Sire of Australia at the Thoroughbred Breeders NSW Annual Awards Charity Lunch.
