Ardrossan

By sire of sires Redoute's Choice
Group-winning sprinter

Service Fee TBC

At Waikato Stud we are very excited about the introduction of one of the Stud’s newest acquisitions because of the diversity, balance, and class he brings to the stallion roster. Ardrossan represents a precocious element both in performance and through a strong paternal and maternal pedigree, and he brings an opportunity to breed to the most successful sire of sires’ line in decades in Australasia via Redoute’s Choice.

His own first crop of two-year-olds have stepped out this season with an immediate impact. Leading the way was the Stephen Marsh-trained Codigo, who became Ardrossan’s first stakes winner – he’s now four from four.

Ardrossan expressed his high level of ability only fleetingly during an abbreviated nine-start career, but good judges rated him a potential Group 1 performer of the very highest order. Unbeaten in two New Zealand starts at two years, and winning by 3.5 lengths at his second start in a Listed 1100 metre event; he was sent to Melbourne where he defeated Group 1 winner Shoals in a trial before suffering a heart strain.

Fully recovered six months hence, he easily won first-up at home before the ARC G3 Concorde in which he defeated the G1 2000 Guineas-placed Ever Loyal. Next start he was only a head and nose behind the ten-time Group 1 winner Melody Belle and triple Group 1 winner Bostonian in the G1 BCD Group Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa.

Ardrossan raced only once more. It was on an unsuitable heavy track at Rosehill in which he finished a close third in the G3 Star Kingdom Stakes – he sustained an injury which brought early retirement.

The strength of the Danehill blood through Redoute’s Choice remains supremely dominant with 10 of his sons at stud, led by Champion Sire Snitzel having sired 13 Group 1 winners. Others include Not a Single Doubt and Stratum II.

As well as an acclaimed sire of sires, Redoute’s Choice internationally has 60 Group 1 wins and 366 Group and Listed events to his credit. In Australia, he has sired 38 individual Group 1 winners and 144 stakes winners. His second crop son Snitzel emulated his own sire when he took out his third consecutive Champion Sire of Australia title in 2018/19.

Breeders looking for early speed will also be encouraged by Ardrossan’s dam Miss Argyle, by Iglesia, who was second in the Gimcrack Stakes (1000m) at Randwick – the first fillies’ stakes race of the two-year-old season.

Ardrossan was purchased as a yearling in Melbourne by outstanding judge Bruce Perry who describes him as, ‘a beautifully balanced and athletic individual; a very good mover with good bone and exuding quality and presence.’

With Ardrossan’s first crop hitting the tracks this year, he has already sired three stakes winners from just nine runners. The first being Codigo, with a speedy and precocious turn of foot he was a winner on debut and then took out the Listed Wellersley Stakes. Loch Katrine followed suit with a courageous win in the Listed Champagne Stakes on just her third start. Ardrossan’s third stakes winner came as Saltcoats bolted home in the Listed Futurity Stakes at Pukekohe, capping a very promising start for our young sire.

Ardrossan’s second crop of yearlings went down incredibly well at the sales, averaging over 33 times his 2020 service fee, with his top colt making A$260,000 at the Inglis Classic Sale.

Ardrossan’s 2024 service fee is to be confirmed.
