A game changing stallion
Volstead has taken all before him as a stallion. The sire of the superstar Keayang Zahara.
A prepotent sire with a rapidly growing legacy, Volstead is emerging as one of the most exciting stallions in the Southern Hemisphere. His early crops have delivered outstanding results on the track, led by six individual Group 1 winners—including the electrifying Keayang Zahara, who continues to capture headlines with her brilliance and toughness at the elite level. A proven source of speed and athleticism, Volstead is now firmly established as a game changer in the breeding barn. His progeny are not only winning but dominating, combining natural gait with a will to win that sets them apart. From his very first foals, he has stamped his quality and is fast becoming a serious commercial force, with strong demand from both breeders and buyers. With momentum building and his influence expanding, Volstead offers breeders a rare opportunity to access a sire who is delivering on every front. He’s not just producing winners—he’s shaping a new generation of stars. The future is bright, and Volstead is at the centre of it.

Volstead has unquestionably demonstrated an ability to upgrade mares and sire serious juvenile precocity. As most exceptional stallions do, he is crossing well with a variety of different broodmare sires. To illustrate this if you look at his top 10 earners in the Southern Hemisphere and his top 5 earners in the Northern Hemisphere, there is not one common broodmare sire! However there are some sirelines which appear prominently. Mares from the Garland Lobell sireline are crossing well with Volstead producing the likes of Sugar Instead in the US and Empire City and Derek The Jet in New Zealand and Australia respectively. Stallions from the Garland Lobell sireline include Majestic Son, Angus Hall, Andover Hall, The Pres, Creatine, Quite Easy, Monkey Bones, Wishing Stone, Imperial Count, Eilean Donon, etc. Valley Victory line mares are also having success with Volstead. This cross shows up in the pedigrees of the superstar Keayang Zahara and Pinnie. Sundon and Pine Chip have expressed their influence on pedigrees for the past three decades and they of course cross well with Volstead too.
Keayang Zahara_20251011
There was no mistaking the champion’s touch at Melton on Saturday night when Keayang Zahara produced one of the most electrifying performances of her career to capture the Group 3 VL Dullard Cup.

The number thirteen is often considered a number of bad luck and especially in the world of horse racing.
Volstead up 1962
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.

Volstead has unquestionably demonstrated an ability to upgrade mares and sire serious juvenile precocity. As most exceptional stallions do, he is crossing well with a variety of different broodmare sires. To illustrate this if you look at his top 10 earners in the Southern Hemisphere and his top 5 earners in the Northern Hemisphere, there is not one common broodmare sire! However there are some sirelines which appear prominently. Mares from the Garland Lobell sireline are crossing well with Volstead producing the likes of Sugar Instead in the US and Empire City and Derek The Jet in New Zealand and Australia respectively. Stallions from the Garland Lobell sireline include Majestic Son, Angus Hall, Andover Hall, The Pres, Creatine, Quite Easy, Monkey Bones, Wishing Stone, Imperial Count, Eilean Donon, etc. Valley Victory line mares are also having success with Volstead. This cross shows up in the pedigrees of the superstar Keayang Zahara and Pinnie. Sundon and Pine Chip have expressed their influence on pedigrees for the past three decades and they of course cross well with Volstead too.

There was no mistaking the champion’s touch at Melton on Saturday night when Keayang Zahara produced one of the most electrifying performances of her career to capture the Group 3 VL Dullard Cup.

The number thirteen is often considered a number of bad luck and especially in the world of horse racing.
