Widden Stud Victoria launched officially with an open day at the Romsey farm on Sunday featuring a parade of stallions including newcomers Russian Camelot (IRE) and Doubtland as well as proven Group I sires Nicconi and Star Witness, who have transferred from the Hunter Valley.
Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Danny O’Brien put the polish on former Champion Two and Three Year Old Star Witness, who has gone on to become a Gr.1 sire for Widden Stud.
O’Brien was a guest at Widden Victoria on Sunday and has no doubt his dual Gr.1 winner Russian Camelot has what it takes to succeed as a sire.
Not a Single Doubt’s brilliant Gr.2 winning son Doubtland impressed the crowd with Wayne Hawkes and William Pike on hand to offer their endorsement.
William partnered with Doutland when he won the Gr.2 VRC Danehill Stakes (1200m) up the Flemington straight.
Star Witness has sired the winners of over $5.5million this season including four stake-winners.
Nicconi has sired the winners of over $7.2 million including three stake-winners headed by his Australian Horse of the Year Nature Strip.
