In conjunction with Australis Stallions and owner Euro Stall Se (Dean Miller), Alabar is thrilled to announce that the internationally acclaimed trotting stallion Volstead is returning in the flesh to Australia and will stand the 2025 season at Alabar Australia.
A son of Cantab Hall, Volstead has quickly cemented himself as one of the most influential trotting stallions in the Southern Hemisphere. His progeny are making headlines across continents – combining raw speed, toughness, and brilliant temperaments that are setting new benchmarks in the trotting ranks.
From just two full crops old enough to race he has already been Leading Australian 2YO Sire (twice), Leading Australian 3YO Sire and Leading NZ 3YO Sire.
With multiple Group 1 winners already to his name, Volstead’s stock have shone at the highest level in both hemispheres. In the Southern Hemisphere his progeny are headed by superstar Keayang Zahara – a mare who has the world at her feet.
Volstead presents breeders with a commercial option without peer. With him now standing in Australia, breeders will have direct access to a world-class trotting sire whose influence continues to grow with each season.
Volstead’s 2025 stud fee is $16,500 (incl GST) in Australia and $15,000 (plus GST) in New Zealand, with multiple mare discounts available.
For bookings or more information, please contact the team at Alabar.
Volstead now forms part of the Trotting Dream Team at Alabar, joining forces with Tactical Approach (the only US Trotter of the Year to ever shuttle), Majestic Son (9-time Leading Australian Sire & 7-time Leading NZ Sire), and Elite Stride (Leading Australian 2YO Sire). Together, they represent an unprecedented level of trotting firepower under one banner.
