2026 Evergreen Stud Farm Vendor Profile

Eurocanto came out all guns blazing from Evergreen Stud's 2025 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale draft, winning the 2025 Listed Maribyrnong Trial Stakes on debut for the Hayes brothers at Lindsay Park. The Per Incanto colt had been a $250,000 purchase and is being set on a Gr1 Blue Diamond pathway. "Our farm continues to produce top horses. In recent years, we have produced Anode, Epimeles, Stonecast, Argentia, Democracy Manifest, Oz Empress, Converge and Eurocanto," revealed Aaron Bott. The combination of outstanding horsemanship from all members of the Bott family and the river frontage pastures at Evergreen Stud's Heatherbrae location continue to be seen at the most important measuring post – the winning post.  Evergreen Stud Farm is split into two distinct areas, and both take advantage of the brilliant horseman at the helm. The breeding side of the farm operates over 500 acres of fertile river flats and typically foal down 40 mares each season. From these small numbers come outstanding results, and none more so than Gr1 winner Converge, who was bred and raced by Evergreen Stud. The Gr1 JJ Atkins Plate winner ended up with over $2.2 million in earnings, while sales horses such as Argentia won the Gr3 Kevin Hayes Stakes at her third start and added another Group 3 win later on. Anode, twice Gr3 placed at two, won the $500,000 Tapp-Craig Plate before being on-sold to Hong Kong where he is eligible for the massively important 4YO Series this season.  The Princess Coup family has been a strong one for Evergreen Stud with many of her stakes descendants being raised at the property, including current runner Rich Dottie, who was purchased by Yulong from an Evergreen Stud draft and is Listed placed in 2025 with four good runs this spring. Gr2 Tobin Bronze Stakes-placed Moesha was a $650,000 yearling sold by Evergreen Stud and after her racing career, she was on-sold for $1.35 million as a broodmare prospect. The property also operates a full pre-training and educational service for young horses, meaning that an owner can have their horse under the Evergreen Stud system from birth until they enter racing if they so choose. "We are proud to have had horses for various trainers and syndicators such as Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Blueblood Thoroughbreds, Mick Price, Gerald Ryan, Lee Curtis, Lindsay Park and Jason Coyle," said Bott.  In 2026, Evergreen Stud will initially present 10 yearlings at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. They typically attend the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale and Inglis Easter Yearling Sale as well.
