He is the TALK OF THE TOWN!

We’ve been fortunate enough to cap the year off with our resident young sire, Talk Of The Town, having his first winner in the form of FAMOUS LADY on 12 December🏆🏇🏼

As the son of our late famous Var standing at stud, he’s done us proud proving his potential early in his stud career.

We hope 2024 will bring along many more winners for all who have put their faith into Talk Of The Town as a young sire.
