Novara Park's stallions sires top averages at Sydney

At the Inglis Sydney Easter Yearling Sale Deep Impact (sire of Staphanos) was the leading sire with an average of $850,000 ahead of Lonhro (sire of Sweynesse) with an average of $603,333.
Lonhro is the only stallion in Australia this season to sire a Group One winner from both his two year old and three year old crops.
Novara Park's Sweynesse is the only son son of Lonhro at stud in New Zealand.
He offers breeders the opportunity to breed to the fastest horse from the Zabeel sireline at stud in New Zealand as well as offering the dominance of Eight Carat in his pedigree.

James Mcdonald - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"He was awesome. We got back in a slowly run race so his (sectional) splits
would have been amazing."

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."

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!”

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."
