He was Australia’s Leading First Season Sire by Winners and Stakes Horses and is currently leading the Second Season Sires table by Winners and is second on earnings by only $35,000. His daughter Profoundly, the recent runner-up in Gr.1 Oaks, demonstrates that, as well as his exceptional potency as a precocious speed influence, Farnan will also have versatility, vitally important in a commercial sire.

Vinery is thrilled to have him joining their 2026 roster coming across from Kia Ora and his fee has been set at $77,000.

Farnan, just like Ole Kirk, started his career standing at a service fee of $55,000 over his first 4 seasons at stud before receiving a well-deserved increase in the 2025 season to a fee of $77,000 where he covered 143 mares. His ongoing success maintains his commercial appeal and in 2026 he remains at $77,000 which is exceptional value.

Vinery’s Adam White said: “With the announcement this week of the consolidation of the Kia Ora and Vinery rosters, we are entering such an exciting time with our emerging roster of stallions. Both Ole Kirk and Farnan continue to demonstrate they are two young stallions on the rise with both stallions covering their strongest books yet and are set to prove themselves as vital stallions to our industry going forward.”
