Winx Headed to Scone
THE owners of Winx announced yesterday that she would be covered by I Am Invincible at Yarraman Park in Scone this breeding season.
The owner group of Peter and Patty Tighe (Magic Bloodstock), Richard Treweeke and Debbie Kepitis said they were excited to announce her covering sire for her first season as a broodmare.
In a media statement they issued the following:
“As owners, we have utilised and considered the expert advice of bloodstock professionals both domestically and internationally.”
“We have sought the opinions of various pedigree consultants, bloodstock agents and stud managers.”
“They provided us with the foundation of information to assess and use to compile the short list of stallions for consideration.”
“This process highlighted the extreme depth to the stallion ranks in Australia and across the world, however when considering the options of traveling overseas her welfare remained of the highest priority and we decided she would remain in Australia for her first breeding season.”
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who made expressions of interest, the level of attention was overwhelming and something we are very grateful for.”
