Rich Hill stands four exciting young stallions for 2019, each bringing the best of international bloodlines and top class race performance.

With the stud's focus on offering breeders value, the stallion service fees are predominantly unchanged.

Young sires Vadamos stand again at $15,000+gst and Satono Aladdin at $12,500+gst, while Proisir who is currently one of New Zealand's leading first season sires will stand for an unchanged fee of $7,000+gst. Proven Group One sire Shocking will stand for a fee of $8500+gst.

"All our stallions are at very exciting phases in their respective careers," Rich Hill Stud managing director John Thompson said.

"Vadamos, our Group One-winning son of Monsun, has been extremely well supported in his first two years at stud covering 159 mares in 2017 and 117 mares last season.

"His first crop foals have made a great impression with breeders and we look forward to marketing them at the yearling sales next year."

Satono Aladdin, the Japanese Group One winning son of breed shaping sire Deep Impact, returns to New Zealand for his second breeding season. For a horse with his pedigree, race record and physique, his fee represents outstanding international value.

"Satono Aladdin is the complete package and we are looking forward to the arrival of his first crop foals next spring with great anticipation," Thompson said.

As announced last month, former resident stallion Jimmy Choux has been sold and will stand next season at Rosalee Park Stud in Serpentine, West Australia.
