Victoria’s Yallambee Stud is offering some excellent bonuses to breeders who support G1 winner Distant Music in his first southern hemisphere season this spring.
Arrangements for Distant Music to stand at Yallambee Stud were reached between Robert Crabtree of Victorian-based Dorrington Breeding and the stallion’s owner-breeder Prince Khalid Abdullah of Juddmonte Farms.
The five-year-old son of the Mr. Prospector stallion Distant View was undefeated in three starts at two, including wins in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket and G2 Champagne Stakes.
In the Dewhurst he beat subsequent 2000 Guineas winner Kings Best by six lengths and was Timeform’s champion 2YO for the season ahead of Fasliyev, Giant's Causeway and King's Best.
At three he won the G1 Goffs International Stakes at The Curragh and retired after his four-year-old season with five wins in 14 career starts..
Bred in Kentucky, Distant Music is the lone stakes winner out of the Nijinsky mare Musicanti, a half sister to champion Vanlandingham and the stakeswinners Jenkins Ferry and Popular Tune.
He represents the immediate family of classic winner Temperence Hill.
Distant Music, who currently stands at Morristown Lattin Stud in County Kildare, will join Spartacus and Testa Rossa at Yallambee Stud.
The incentives being offered to broodmares owners by Yallambee Stud include an offer to pay the Super Vobis entry for the resultant foal of a 2002 mating with Distant Music. In addition if the mare is in foal when she visits Distant Music that foal is also eligible for the rich Super Vobis program.
Distant Music’s fee at Yallambee has been set at $16,500 including GST with a free return. His book for 2002 has been set at a maximum of 100 mares.
