SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONS TO THE 2026-27 YABBY DAM FARM STALLION ROSTER
Yabby Dam Farms is delighted to welcome USA trotting sire sensation In Range (Bar Hopping) and Booster Winner (Love You), both via frozen semen to their 2026-27 stallion roster.
In Range has made an unbelievable start to his stud career in the USA finishing third to Chapter Seven and Captain Corey on the 2 year old earning list with his first crop in 2025.

While in Europe from an handful of foals he is sire the 2025 Swedish Breeders Crown winner, Pure Athena (1:55.5 - $607,381)
Initially standing for US$4,000 in his first 3 years, In Range’s service fee was increased to US$10,000 in both the US and Europe this year with the full and closed sign going up very early the breeding season in both the USA and Europe.
Booster Winner (Love You) a triple group 1 winner in France and a perennial top sire in that country (in the top 3 stallions in France since 2023) also joins the YDF stallion ranks in 2026-27.
He is already the sire of Hooker Berry Group 1 (1,826,000 euros and 2023 Prix D’Amerique winner), Jabalpur Group1 winner (626,590 euros), KytKat Group1 winner (703650 euros) in France.
In a move that we feel will excite kiwi breeders YDF will stand the well preformed and beautifully bred son of Love You, Classic Connection at Darryl Brown’s Wai Eyre stud in Canterbury.
Already a very popular stallion in Australia (with 2 crops of racing age) This imposing son of Love You has a significate pedigree update with one of the USA’s current top 3 year old trotting colts in, Diabolic Hill (Muscle Hill) hailing from his immediate family.
Also joining Classic Connection at Wai Eyre for this upcoming stud season, is the well preformed son of Volstead in Enchauffour.
Enchauffour, who hails from one of France’s best families is s very closely related to top European (but ill fated) sire Infinitive (who is in turn the sire of Ecurie D, who’s first crop of babies -in 2026 are exciting trainers in the USA, including one of the fastest baby trotter qualifier to date Lifetime Dreamer 1.55.4 ).
Also, very close up in his pedigree is the very fast stallion in Quatro de Julio (Trixton), whose babies are also exciting trainers in the USA with his current 2 year old qualifiers.
Enchauffour injured his knee following his exciting 2 year old season that culminated in a commanding win in the 2 year old C & G Breeders Crown Final.
Following a very below par first up run at 3, scan revealed just how serious his knee injury was, and credit must go to Jess Tubbs and her team for getting him back to the races to finish second in both the Group 1 Vicbred and Group 1 Breeders Crown 3 year old finals.
“Enchauffour, or King as we knew him, was a horse with incredible presence both on and off the track. He was one of Greg’s favourites thanks to his phenomenal acceleration and high cruising speed. It was a shame we never got to see him meet his full potential, having been forced into an early retirement without ever being fully extended” - Jess Tubbs
Bold Eagle (Ready Cash) also returns (via frozen semen) this year to NZ, together with Winners Bet (Walner), Village Mystic (Love You), Walner (Chapter Seven) and Orlando Vici.
While E L Titan (Muscle Hill) will again be available via chilled semen from Australia. And who could forget his 2025 USA 2 year old crop where he finished in the 2 year old average earning list to Chapter Seven.
