ALABAMA EXPRESS New in 2020
alongside GRUNT
A FASTGROWING FORCE We are pleased to offer breeders another Australian Group One winning stallion with Alabama Express joining Grunt at Yulong this year. We had a fantastic response from breeders last year with Grunt covering 179 mares with exceptional fertility results and we are looking forward to his foals arriving in August. Our new stallion facility will be open for the 2020 breeding season and we invite you to Yulong to inspect our stallions and view the stallion and serving barns. Mr Zhang has continued his investment in our broodmare band with approximately 200 mares under the Yulong ownership and we will support our young stallions with these lovely well-bred mares. The next year or two maybe not as easy as we thought, however we must remember that we are breeding this year to sell the progeny in three years. We understand, we want to be able to assist breeders wherever possible to help them through the next couple of years. If you need assistance with mating analysis or simply making your financials work in regards to service fee payments, please give us a call.
