Swettenham Stud has made a significant acquisition for the 2024 breeding season by welcoming the illustrious Lofty Strike to its roster.

As the son of champion sire Snitzel and Golden Slipper heroine Overreach, Lofty Strike boasts an impeccable pedigree, making him one of the most promising stallion prospects in recent years.

His remarkable track record includes being an undefeated Group-winning 2-year-old and a Group 2-winning 3-year-old, defeating numerous Group 1 winners along the way.

Notably, he recorded faster times than renowned Australian Champion Racehorse Nature Strip in the Group 2 Rubiton Stakes.

With his retirement to Swettenham Stud, breeders gain access to his commercial appeal and the potential for producing champions, signalling a pivotal moment for the Victorian breeding industry.
