Novara Park

Novara Park

Novara Park is a picturesque stud farm situated in the beautiful Waikato region of New Zealand. This magnificent race horse breeding facility currently incorporates, stables and race horse walker, stallion facilities, and numerous fully fenced paddocks.

Walk-In Partners

At the Novara Park facility only a small number of Brood Mares are agisted.

In general a breeder using our stallion has two options:

They may choose to walk their mare in for service from their own property
They may choose to agist their mare at a specialist agistment farm where the mare can foal down, they will be prepared for service, walked in for the service to Novara Park and then cared for and pregnancy checked at later dates.

The advantages to this type of specialist agistment service are:

Closely monitored hands-on management of your mare
Superior management of your mare’s pregnancy
Lower risk of equine disease

Please contact us for a list of farms that are specialists at walk in services and are recommended by us.

Henry Plumptre - Managing Director of Darley Australia.

Says of Sweynesse :

"These three colts are the best colts this year and there is probably a half-length
between them. It is fantastic."

Hugh Bowman - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"I was really pleased with First Seal but full credit to Sweynesse, I thought I had the race in my keeping. My filly wasn’t dying on her run but the colt picked me up and put me away."

Michael Cox - Former South China Morning Post and now The Age racing writer saw Staphanos in the flesh on the track and in his impressive morning workouts

Says of Staphanos :

"Staphanos is a horse of substance, mixing toughness and a no-nonsense temperament in a career in which he raced and beat some of the best Japan had to offer. What a coup by Luigi Muollo and Novara Park to secure this stallion and what an incredible opportunity for New Zealand breeders to send mares to such a highly credentialed son of Deep Impact. He has the looks, pedigree and racetrack performances to be a hit at stud. He could be a real game changer and just the type of stallion New Zealand needs."

Hideaki Fujiwara - Champion Trainer Japan

Says of Staphanos :

“Staphanos had outstanding ability showing speed and stamina. He was mentally and physically tough. I expect his progeny to be the same!”
