Badlands Hanover and Blissfull Hall returned to Winbak of Canada on Thursday morning after spending the latter part of 2009 Down Under for the Southern Hemisphere�s breeding season. Badlands Hanover stood in New Zealand at Nevele R Stud and Blissfull Hall stood in Australia at Empire Stud.

�Both horses look great. They got in this morning, and both were turned out in their paddocks for a romp this afternoon. We are expecting Royal Mattjesty back on Wednesday,� stated Larry Drysdale, Winbak Canada�s farm manager.

Badlands and Blissfull both arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday, were in a brief quarantine there, then shipped to Indianapolis and picked up for a final return to Ontario. Royal Mattjesty will be doing this same routine this weekend.

Badlands Hanover had a great 2009, moving to Ontario and breeding a full book. His progeny went onto excel with Tug River Princess and Mr. Wiggles both becoming Badland�s newest millionaires. Blissfull Hall, the 1999 Pacing Triple Crown winner, also bred a large book of 125 mares in 2009.

Royal Mattjesty, who stood at the Australian Stallion Station in Australia made his freshman debut with 2-year-olds in 2009. For information on any of Winbak�s stallions go to www.winbakfarm.com. (Winbak Farm)
