This year the tour visited the Hunter Valley with other properties visited including Patinack Farm, Sandy Hollow, Newgate Farm, Aberdeen, and Yarraman, Vinery, Turangga and Kitchwin Hills studs around Scone.
By Red Ransom, Arlington - who was a stakes placed winner of five races in Sydney as well as in New Zealand - has served more than 210 mares at his first two stud seasons.
A half-brother to outstanding New Zealand based sire Savabeel, Arlington as well as Eavesdropper are on the list of sires that have nominations available to club members for the ATBC via its annual stallion tender scheme.
A US-bred son of Kingmambo, Eavesdropper - who has been experiencing a run of winners in recent weeks - is a half-brother to US horse of the year and champion US sire A P Indy.
The ATBC, established in 1982, thanks the stallion owner/sire nomination donors currently available to club members for tender.
Pictured is Arlington, held by Nick Posa with Australian Thoroughbred Breeders Club tour members Colleen Goth, Goulburn; Lyn Colmer, Bellingen, and Anne Sullivan, Sydney.
