South Island stud farms Wai Eyre Farm and Macca Lodge have jointly secured US Captain, a well-bred harness racing stallion by Captaintreacherous, for the upcoming breeding season. US Captain boasts an impressive racing record with 22 wins, 52 top-three finishes, and a best time of 1:48.1. He comes from an elite bloodline, being sired by World Champion Captaintreacherous and out of American Jewel, a world champion mare with multiple Group 1 wins and world records. His pedigree traces back to the legendary producer Three Diamonds, ensuring strong genetic potential.
US Captain, who has had two successful breeding seasons in North America, is now 100% New Zealand owned and will stand at Wai Eyre Farm for an affordable fee of $3,000 + GST. The farms have lowered their fees to support breeders and encourage more breedings, with the stallion expected to cross well with the prevalent Bettor’s Delight mares in New Zealand. US Captain’s arrival in late July marks an exciting opportunity for local breeders to access top-tier bloodlines while keeping investment within New Zealand.
