NEW foals are always eagerly awaited each new season, particularly the first progeny of second season sires.

Standing at Widden Stud, Outreach served 136 mares last season and is a Sydney-winning Exceed And Excel full brother to Golden Slipper winner Overreach.
Outreach, along with Arrowfield Stud pair Scissor Kick and Panzer Division are among second season sires to be represented with their first foals this season.
Three mares with their early-born Outreach filly foals at foot were paraded at the recent Widden Stud stallion parade – Queen Of The Nile, who is a half-sister to $5.5 million earner Mummify; Winesearch, a winning mare by Wanted; and Twinkle Star, a daughter of ill-fated sire Northern Meteor.
