Welcome
Corumbene Stud has been part of our family’s history for decades.
We have bred, owned, and raced our horses, which have been reared on the extremely fertile 14,200 acres of black loam soil of Dunedoo.
Horses do very well at our farm, and we truly believe that is part of our success.
The 2022 breeding season marks the first time in two decades that we have decided to stand stallions.
We whole heartedly believe these stallions will be excellent propositions for breeders who wish to produce an ideal equine athlete for Australian tracks.
As we plan mating’s for our mares, no stone is left unturned to ensure that we are producing winners on the track.
Menari and Standout are just two horses of a long list of names that we have bred.
We have had the fortunate pleasure of breeding and racing Golden Slipper winners Overreach and Sebring who went on to have an excellent career at stud.
We believe that both Menari and Standout are excellent stallions for anyone who is looking to breed commercially or looking to race their own champion.
Corumbene Stud has always been a family owned and run farm based in Dunedoo, NSW and we would like to invite you to join us on the next chapter of Corumbene Stud.
What services do Corumbene offer?

Perfectly positioned to be able to cater for walk ons across NSW, if you are looking for a farm which has the right facilities, years of experience and knowledge, look no further than Corumbene Stud.
A promising start… Menari
An outstanding colt with Group 1 potential and by a four-time champion sire out of a stakes-winning mare from a potent blacktype family, the prospects were high for Menari to be a resounding success at stud and his first crop have made an explosive start.
From just nine two-year-old runners (75% of his named progeny) Menari has delivered six winners, including metropolitan scorer Green Shadows and the exciting Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained debut winner Tifosi. The new two being Ferrari man (6lgth wnr at Bendigo) and Enzina.
Delivering results in the sales ring
In his fledgling stud career, Menari has delivered breeders rewards in the sale ring. This year, his second-crop yearlings have sold to a high of $350,000 - 21 times his service fee - and averaged over $100,000.
His first crop sold to an average of $110,720, the second highest of any sire son of Snitzel, and more than Russian Revolution, Pariah and Star Turn.
Buyers of Menari yearlings have included leading trainers Ciaron Maher, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Richard and Michael Freedman, as well as renowned agents James Bester, Triple Crown Syndications and Bahen Bloodstock.
‘A spectacular colt’
Menari was an exceptional racetrack performer. A dominant debut winner in January of his two-year-old year, Menari contested all the elite juvenile races, and was the first colt home in the 2017 Golden Slipper when finishing fourth, defeating the likes of Trapeze Artist and Pariah.
As brilliant as he was at two, Menari was outstanding at three. He returned in September to record the race record time in victory in the Listed Rosebud Stakes, faster than previous winners Thronum and Scissor Kick, and defeating Group 1 winner Trekking.
He was equally as impressive in the Group 2 Run To The Rose next start, beating an elite field including Pariah, Kementari and Invader.
Showing blistering speed from the gates, Menari crossed from the outside barrier to sit outside the leader and blew away his rivals at Rosehill to post a commanding one-and-a-half-length victory, leading race caller Darren Flindell to label him ‘a spectacular colt’.
That performance installed Menari as favourite for the stallion-making Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes at Rosehill, a race in which he finished third, ahead of Pariah, Gold Standard and The Mission.
The racing world was unfortunately robbed of what was to follow from a Group 1-winning colt in waiting, with Menari retired due to injury when favourite for the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington.
‘Menari, the Ferrari, wins the Run To The Rose, oh he’s a spectacular colt, this’Darren Flindell, Run To The Rose, September 9, 2017
Menari
Menari’s pedigree screams stallion making.
By the four-time champion sire in Snitzel, himself a son of champion sires Redoute’s Choice and Danehill, Menari continues an elite sire-line.
He is from the stakes-winning General Nediym mare Isurava, herself a sister to two stakes winners, and a winner of three of her seven racetrack starts.
Menari is a brother to the two-year-old stakes-placed filly Sweet Ava, while this is the family of Thousand Guineas winner Whisked and 13-time Group 1 winner and champion racehorse Tie The Knot.
Standing for a fee of $16,500, Menari is an elite proposition for breeders, at an affordable access price point.

Corumbene winners on the track
There is a lot to a brand. It’s what sets one farm apart from another. And the Corumbene Stud brand is one that has been developed over more than 40 years into a trusted source of quality thoroughbreds.
From our rich pastures have grown champion juveniles; Group 1-winning stallions, elite-level mares and black type horses.
Corumbene is a consistent producer of sought-after, precocious speed.
No less than two Golden Slipper winners have carried the famed Corumbene Stud brand since 2008 - a record only bettered by Darley.
The first was the sublime Sebring, a winner of five from six starts and a graduate of our 2007 yearling draft when purchased by Star Thoroughbreds for $130,000.
Six years later, the sparkling filly Overreach burst to victory in the Corumbene silks to win Australia’s most coveted two-year-old prize - a victory that continues to be cherished to this day.
Further champion two-year-olds raised on the farm include Hasna, winner of the ATC Sires’ Produce and Champagne Stakes, as well as Blue Diamond winner True Jewels, whose Group 2-winning half-sister, Wager, was runner-up in both the ATC Sires’ Produce and Champagne Stakes.
And earlier this season, the latest two-year-old star to emanate from the farm was revealed, as Empire Of Japan ran out an impressive winner of the Group 3 Breeders’ Plate at Randwick on October 1. He is a daughter of our very own Magic Night Stakes winner Ichihara.
The farm has produced further Group 1 winners in Metropolitan hero Heart Ruler - runner-up in the VRC Derby - as well as Eagle Falls and Hong Kong Group 1 winner Southern Legend.
In the 20 years since 2002, no less than 26 individual stakes winners have been bred on the farm.
Corumbene is a brand that breeds success.
Pure Corumbene speed… Standout
We are delighted to welcome our homebred stallion Standout to the roster this year - a horse that is the product of some of Corumbene’s best - and fastestbloodlines.
A son of Darley’s champion stallion Exceed And Excel, one of only six stallions in history to have sired more than 200 individual stakes winners, Standout is a full-brother to our Golden Slipper Stakes winner Overreach being out of Bahia (Snippets), herself an unbeaten winner of four races as a juvenile.
Bahia, herself, is a close relation to precocious speed being a half-sister to Blue Diamond Stakes winner Reward For Effort, as well as Listed winner and Group 1 runner-up Consular.
Standout was unbeaten in his first three races, culminating with victory over Cosmic Force in the Heritage Stakes - a race won by stallions Home Affairs, Wild Ruler, Lonhro, General Nediym and Octagonal, as well as our very own high-class fillies Hasna and Ichihara.
After running second in the Roman Consul Stakes, Standout beat three-time Group 1-winning mare Alizee to win the weight-for-age Expressway Stakes, standing alongside Trapeze Artist as a three-year-old winner of the race.
From there on, Standout contested the leading sprint races in the country, twice running second in the Sydney Stakes - The Everest consolation race - as well as placing in the Premiere Stakes - a key Everest lead-up race - behind Group 1 winner Masked Crusader and in The Everest ‘winners’ race behind multiple elite-level winner Eduardo.
The flashy chestnut is an incredible specimen, a son of a champion sire and from a precocious, two-year-old black type family - a recipe for stallion success!
At $8,800 (inc GST), do not miss out on Standout.
“He’s got the pedigree, he’s got the looks and he’s got that AH on his side”
– Trainer Gerald Ryan
