Melbourne, Australia — Former international trotting star Volstead, who recently commended stud duties at Dublin Valley Farm in Ohio, has served more than 100 mares in his first season at stud in Australasia.

Standing at Haras Des Trotteurs’ property at Ballarat in Victoria, Volstead’s excellent fertility has enabled sufficient frozen semen to be stored for export to Europe to meet an expected high demand there.

The Group 1 winning son of Cantab Hall has proven very popular with ‘down under’ breeders, especially those looking for the same sireline as Father Patrick.
