Following a blistering start to his stud career, Home Affairs will head Coolmore Australia's roster for 2026 at a fee of AU$176,000 (all fees inc. GST).
The standout son of I Am Invincible has wasted no time making his mark with four stakes-winning 2-year-olds to date, including Golden Slipper (G1) hero Guest House. His explosive start has firmly established Home Affairs as the hottest young stallion in the country.
"Home Affairs has made the perfect start to his career," Coolmore's nominations and sales manager Colm Santry said.
"To produce a Golden Slipper-winning colt in his first crop is a remarkable achievement and speaks volumes about what he is capable of.
"In doing so, he emulated great stallions like Danehill and Extreme Choice and looks like fulfilling the lofty expectations that we've always had for him."
In his introductory season in Australia, Super Seth will stand for AU$137,500 following his relocation from Waikato Stud, where he produced three Australian group 1 winners from his first crop.
A proven and versatile young sire, Super Seth has had yearlings sell for up to AU$950,000 in Australia in 2026 and comes to the Hunter Valley after making a stronger start at stud than the likes of Champion New Zealand stallions Zabeel and his son Savabeel.
The son of Dundeel also enhanced his black-type strike-rate across the Tasman on Saturday when his 3-year-old filly Perlino won the Warstep Stakes at Riccarton. A ninth individual stakes winner for her sire, she is raced by David Ellis and was an AU$120,000 NZB Yearling Sale buy for the Te Akau principal at Karaka.
"We are delighted to offer a roster that combines elite, proven stallions with some of the most exciting young sires in the market," Santry added. "Not only do we have some of the best up-and-coming Australian-bred stallions, our shuttle stallions on offer are also of the highest quality.
"In addition to quality, we placed a strong emphasis on delivering value to breeders across the entire roster."
Among the second-season sires, City of Troy, the outstanding son of Justify , will remain at AU$49,500.
Fellow second-crop stallion Switzerland has been adjusted to AU$55,000 (down from $60,500), while Storm Boy (Justify) holds steady at AU$16,500. Written Tycoon's Caulfield Guineas (G1) winner Private Life will stand at AU$16,500, representing a slight reduction on his introductory fee.
The regally bred Golden Slipper winner Shinzo will stand at a slightly reduced fee of AU$49,500 as his highly anticipated first foals head to the sales ring next month.
In addition to City of Troy and the previously announced Delacroix (AU$38,500), the shuttle stallion contingent will yet again feature St Mark's Basilica at an unchanged fee of AU$38,500. The champion son of Siyouni has already produced unbeaten multiple stakes winner, Aristopolos, from his first Australian crop.
Established proven sires Pierro and Pride of Dubai indicate incredible value, both standing at the reduced fee of AU$22,000, while King's Legacy and Best of Bordeaux will all be offered at AU$11,000.
Acrobat will command AU$8,800 with 90 first-crop 2-year-olds to run for him, including Acrodance, who opened her account on debut at the Sunshine Coast for trainer Paul Shailer.
New Zealand-based Acrobat youngster King of The Air also won at the first time of asking at New Plymouth before he added black-type with a group 3 placing in the Matamata Slipper Stakes (G3) for trainer Stephen Marsh.
