Woodlands Stud is proud to announce it has secured the Southern Hemisphere breeding rights to brilliant North American racehorse Downbytheseaside. The $2-million+ racetrack earner and son of champion sire Somebeachsomewhere will join Australasia’s most imposing stallion roster.
In a breathtaking career, Downbytheseaside became the co-fastest two-year-old in history, as he paced in 1.49 over the Red Mile. In his freshman year he also paced a world record 1.50 on a half-mile track. As a two-year-old he banked over $577,000 in purses and recorded eight wins.
As a three-year-old, Downbytheseaside won a staggering $1.6 million in stakes. In a crop of great horses – among them Huntsville and Fear The Dragon – he was named the 2017 Dan Patch Three-Year-Old Pacing Colt of the Year.
We are genuinely excited to our offer fresh chilled semen to Southern Hemisphere breeders from a champion son of Somebeachsomewhere.
From a Woodlands Stud perspective, Downbytheseaside ticks all the boxes. We expect him to be very popular with breeders, with his exceptional looks, staggering juvenile speed, terrific gait, talent and pedigree. Most importantly, he will cross with many mares, especially daughters of Bettors Delight.
His service fee will be $6,000 + GST in both Australia and New Zealand.
Downbytheseaside joins one of the world’s strongest Standardbred rosters. He will share the breeding shed with champion stallion Bettors Delight, American Ideal, Sweet Lou, Highview Tommy and Pegasus Spur.
