As we edge ever closer to the start of another breeding season, our stallions continue to provide plenty of reasons for optimism. Across Australasia last week there were winners at every level, from exciting young prospects taking their first steps to proven open-class performers adding further chapters to already remarkable careers. 

Woodlands Stud will open its gates to buyers and industry participants on Saturday, May 9, 2026, hosting a Weanling Parade at its Hamlin Road property.

View our 2026 Weanling draft and find out more details around the sale.

With the final Australasian yearling sales now complete for 2026, it has been extremely pleasing to see the continued strength of the market for progeny by Woodlands Stud stallions.

A milestone for Downbytheseaside, a big night at Wagga, the final yearling sale of 2025 and the weanling sale moves online.

It takes a special type of stallion to come along and make a real impact on the harness racing industry. One stallion now beginning to make a serious mark is Downbytheseaside.

As the yearling sale season continues, we couldn’t be prouder of the results our sires are achieving with their progeny on the track and in the sale ring - the APG Perth sale was no exception!

Yearling Sales Season is always a highlight of the year for us here at Woodlands Stud, and we were proud to present another exceptional draft at the NZB Standardbred Yearling Sale in Auckland last week.
