Australia’s Newgate Farm has made a big splash at Kentucky’s breeding stock sales this week. Newgate, in partnership with SF Bloodstock, was the leading buyer through Book 1 of Keeneland November with 11 horses bought for $6.515-million, and Newgate and SF spent $1.585-million on four mares at Fasig-Tipton, with all the mares expected to go to Australia.
Founded by now 33-year-old Henry Field in 2010 on a leased 250-acre property in Australia’s Hunter Valley, Newgate has exploded into one of the preeminent nurseries and stallion stations in the country. Newgate moved to a 1700-acre property in 2013 and is now perennially a leading consignor at all the country’s major sales. It’s nine-horse stallion roster includes Horse of the Year Dissident (Aus) (Sebring {Aus}) and G1 Queen Elizabeth S. victor Criterion (NZ) (Sebring {Aus}), and that list is set to expand further, with Newgate having secured the future services of four exciting 3-year-old colts, including ‘TDN Rising Star’ and G1 Golden Slipper winner Capitalist (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}). The TDN’s Kelsey Riley caught up with Field at Keeneland this week.
