Much has been said about the need for racing to evolve. The Vic Derby is too much too soon, they say, and that is evidenced by the poor subsequent form out of the race. But what is really going on? Read my argument in defence of the Derby.

Dundeel, who stands at Arrowfield Stud, represents outstanding value this coming breeding season at a service fee of $66,000.00 In the current market, where proven stallions with elite-performing progeny are commanding significantly higher fees, Dundeel continues to offer breeders access to genuine Group 1 quality, toughness, versatility, and an increasingly proven sire line at a highly competitive level.

What makes Dundeel particularly appealing is the remarkable consistency he is showing as a sire of elite fillies and mares. The statistics are impossible to ignore - eight of his last ten stakes performers have been fillies or mares - highlighting not only his ability to inject class and durability into his progeny, but also his growing reputation as a stallion capable of producing high-quality female families with long-term broodmare value.

Importantly, Dundeel is also the sire of Super Seth, who emerged from his very first crop, a significant achievement for any young stallion. Super Seth originally stood at Waikato Stud in New Zealand before later being sold to Coolmore Stud to stand at their prestigious Hunter Valley base in Australia. Reports at the time suggested the transaction set a new Southern Hemisphere record, a reflection of the enormous confidence the industry had in both Super Seth’s commercial appeal and also the strength of the Dundeel sire line.

When you combine Dundeel’s ability to consistently leave stakes-class performers, his proven success at producing elite fillies and mares, and the growing influence of his sons at stud, he shapes as one of the more underrated and genuinely value-driven stallions available this season.

@vickyleo Thanks for the update Vicky - you’re doing a great job 👍

[Arrowfield Stud @ArrowfieldStud]

With 26 ANZ Group 1 performers - more than Zoustar - Dundeel ranks highly among Australia’s proven sires, and his large, superbly bred 2024 & 2025 crops will underpin the market for his 2027 foals...
