A RECENT trip to Britain brought me on a tour of a number of stud farms, one of which was Cheveley Park Stud. There Chris Richardson took me around the farm, the facilities and to have a look at the stallions.

King of the castle is Pivotal, an incredibly youthful looking 24-year-old who covered some 60 mares this year. He is fresh and well and hopefully will cover for a few more years yet.
