Successful stallions Successful Appeal   and Songandaprayer   will be available to cover mares at Walmac Farm near Lexington during this year’s Southern Hemisphere breeding season. Each stallion will stand for $8,500 live foal, due April 15, 2010. Each stood during the recently completed breeding season for $22,500.

“Walmac has long had extensive dealings in South America and Australia/New Zealand, and we are pleased to offer both Songandaprayer and Successful Appeal to a more international audience,” said John T.L. Jones III, Walmac managing director. “However, since we are keeping our marquee stallions here in Kentucky to minimize the travel risk, we have made the fees very attractive, which should help attract Southern Hemisphere breeders wanting to tap into top North American bloodlines."

Songandaprayer (Unbridled's Song  --Alizea, by Premiership), has sired 31 stakes horses, including four stakes winners of 2009.

Successful Appeal (Valid Appeal--Successful Dancer, by Fortunate Prospect), was the leading first-crop by progeny earnings in 2004. He has sired 39 stakes horses, including six stakes winners of 2009.
