Full Book for Contributer

New Zealand's Mapperley Stud has announced their exciting young stallion Contributer (High Chaparral-SSerisia, by Exit to Nowhere) is fully booked for the 2021 breeding season. Following a satisfying year on the track and success in the sales ring, his service fee was increased from $10,000 + GST to $22,000 + GST this year. His progeny’s success was headlined by Lion’s Roar, who won the Gr.1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) and placed in the Gr1 Australian Derby (2400m) over the Sydney Autumn Carnival. Llanacord was another exciting talent to emerge from his first crop, winning the Gr2 Lowland Stakes (2100m) at Hastings and subsequently placed in the Gr1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) and Gr3 South Australia Fillies Classic (2500m). Earlier in the year, Contributer enjoyed success in the sales ring, with his latest crop of yearlings achieving a 100 percent clearance rate across all sales in Australasia. He was the leading second season sire at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sales, averaging $141,000 in Book 1 off a modest $12,500 service fee in 2018. “We have received an overwhelming amount of interest in him early on in the year, he’s had fantastic results on the track this year and it is easy to see why breeders are keen to get into him this season,” Mapperley Stud principal Simms Davison said. “He’s got a lovely book of mares coming to him this season, and with his second crop already showing promise as two-year-olds, the future looks bright for him.” Contributer was a dual Group 1 winner in Australia when raced by Godolphin.
