Newsells Park Stud has announced the winners of the promotion competition for its second-season stallion A'Ali (Ire), with John and Daniel James from Brookside Stud being the recipients of a hospitality package for the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles Final.
Fiona and Bob Temple of Saxtead Livestock won a trip to Paris with two tickets for the Rugby World Cup final in October, including travel and three nights' accommodation, while David and Emma Armstrong from Highfield Farm won flights and a three-night stay in Dubai for the 2024 Dubai World Cup.
More than 100 mares visited the four-time Group 2 winner A'Ali, a son of the late Society Rock (Ire), during the 2023 breeding season, with their breeders all entered into the competition which was drawn by footballing legend and racehorse owner Ossie Ardiles.
Newsells Park Stud's general manager Julian Dollar said: “A'Ali's partners were keen to highlight what a great sporting chance a mare had of producing quality, fast and precocious winners if she was covered by one of the fastest and most precocious sprinters of recent years.
“We are delighted with the support for A'Ali from breeders this year, not only because of this promotion but also given the quality of his first foals, with many breeders returning their mares to him for a second time. Congratulations to all the winners, and we look forward to seeing A'Ali's first foals at the sales later this year.”
