Introducing Freeze
Queensland breeders, who may be finding
the rapid escalation in service fees in recent
times a daunting proposition, can now
consider Freeze with confidence. We
believe Freeze provides an affordable
breeding alternative, without sacrificing
quality or pedigree.
We would like to give a brief outline of the
reasons behind the purchase of the stallion
Freeze which may also be of benefit to your
breeding program.
Our initial inspection of the Freeze yearlings
at this year’s Magic Millions alerted us to the
sire potential of this stallion. They were all great athletic types, with good legs and bold
outlooks. His family is one of the strongest in this country. They run early, are super tough and
are competitive at the highest level. We were able to purchase Freeze outright, although the
original owners (Vinery, Stratheden and Oxford Studs) insisted that they retain some future
breeding interest. Freeze is now settling into life at Springfields in preparation for the upcoming
season.
Freeze possesses considerable quality as befitting his breeding. He has a tough, bright eye, an
exceptionally wide gullet, good rein, long sloping shoulder, a deep girth, strong muscular
forearms, short cannons, strong fetlocks and pasterns and dark hard feet with wide heels. The
horse has strong flat hind leg with low set hocks, wide high set hips, a long croup and good tail
setting, ample genitalia, and is a good hard dark bay colour. His front legs are set perfectly
under his shoulder and his back legs are square and wide.
The following points also weighed heavily on our decision to acquire Freeze:

We were fortunate to view the excellent conformation, soundness and toughness of his
progeny. A rare privilege in any stallion selection process

The pedigree, family performance, temperament and magnificent conformation of the
stallion

His exceptional fertility and limited books served to date

The stallions speed and his family’s speed. Freeze demonstrated outstanding ability as
a young 2yo and went on to be in the money in 5 out of 6 starts, including Listed
company and it was only an unfortunate stable accident that prevented him from rising
to the heights he so richly deserved.

Great sires are quite often lightly raced and not necessarily champion Group 1 horses
(e.g. Sir Tristram, Red Ransom and Hussonet)

His suitability for siring precocious QTIS stock

Compatible with wide variety of pedigrees, including Northern Dancer, Danehill, Nijinsky,
and Sir Ivor and especially the Thatch/Thong connection in Nureyev and Fairy King.

A rare Star Kingdom male line combined with the incomparable Danzig speed in the
female line through Polish Precedent

Grass track pedigree

The commerciality of the family. Witness the high prices obtained for the stallions
siblings in recent times

Snowdrift his dam has had five to race for five black type performers

Snowdrift has a lovely colt by Encosta De Lago at foot and is in foal to Redoute’s Choice
again. She is a refined European mare and is held in the highest regard. The family will
remain commercial for years to come

Freeze has an unusually wide gullet (10cm+). This large air flow factor is a common trait
in successful stallions and champion sprinters. The great Northern Dancer is the
yardstick of this characteristic and measured 10.8cm
