19.01.2022 Thank you to the wonderful Sharon Lee Chapman Photography for her beautiful photos of some of the first crop of Dracarys foals. We think they are looking impressive, powerful and speedy! Stay tuned....more to come.

18.01.2022 The 2020 season is almost here and we cant wait to see quality mares like Spirit of The Nile arriving at Oakwood Farm. Spirit of The Nile is an Encosta De Lago mare and using the G1Goldmine Stallion Match tool she is a Perfect Match for Dracarys. Thank you Wayne from Vohlando Thoroughbreds.

15.01.2022 We love this photo of the legend #Snitzel ! The achievements of #Snitzel are quite outstanding and as the sire of #100stakeswinners he really is a #legend #Dracrays as a #sonofsnitzel shares the same amazing demeanor and nature as his #sire .... Bred with speed, class and pedigree #Dracarys provides discerning Queensland breeders with an opportunity to access the powerful genetics of a leading family of sires.

15.01.2022 SPEED, CLASS & PEDIGREE Dracarys won the 2017 Up & Coming Stakes smashing the track record and defeating Group 1 winners Trapeze Artist and Ace High. #Dracarys #DracarysStallion #sonofsnitzel #royalrandwick #upandcomingstakes #stakeswinner

13.01.2022 #FlashbackFriday "In well over 100 years of racing at Randwick no horse has ever run the 1300m distance faster than that achieved by Snitzel colt Dracarys this past Saturday, stopping the clock in 1:14.76, the first horse ever to break 1:15 for the distance. He did this in the Group 3 Up and Coming Stakes, despite the early pace being significantly slower than that of the older mares in a Group 3 later on the card, and as such stamped himself as an elite three-year-old." http://www.jamesharronbloodstock.com.au//dracarys-scorche/

13.01.2022 Its #flashbackfriday and we revisit #Dracarys early success at Warwick Farm "Richly bred Dracarys has had to be more tradesman than equine model in making a winning debut at Warwick Farm. A stand-out individual on looks and easily the most expensive horse to race at the Sydney midweek meeting on Wednesday, Dracarys won the Hyland Race Colours Plate.... The race was run in driving rain and it turned the track into a test of stamina but Dracarys confirmed he is no $1 million show pony, drawing clear for a 1-1/4 length win as the $4 favourite. "It looked liked he never handled the ground but obviously a little bit of class shone through," co-trainer Paul Snowden said. "When his wheels (legs) were spinning turning for home I thought gee, here we go, but as I said his class got him through in the end.""...... https://wwos.nine.com.au//fafc381b-7d17-4922-9776-f08b342e

12.01.2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRACARYS! Dracarys was born 28th July 2014. As a #sonofsnitzel and with Nocturnelle as a dam, Dracarys bloodline run rich with pedigree and performance.

11.01.2022 SPEED, CLASS AND PEDIGREE! Dracarys is now on the Arion Stallion Roster for the 2020 season. https://www.arion.co.nz/Stalli/StallionsRosterDisplay.aspx

11.01.2022 SPEED, CLASS & PEDIGREE Read more about Dracarys in the Queensland Country Life Sires of the Season lift out........ Bletchingly was one and Vain another. So it was for Kaoru Star, Snitzel, his sire Redoutes Choice and his granddad Danehill as well. All were sparingly raced before retiring to stud where the talent each displayed on raceday paled alongside anything they were to achieve in the stallion barn. Its the same situation in which Dracarys finds himself, not long ...off the racetrack with only a handful of starts to his credit and a stud career beckoning. Dracarys, a brown foal of 2014, demands attention for many reasons. Of course there is his bloodline, saturated as it is with quality, and the athleticism which carried him to Group race success, not to mention the powerful presence he casts standing at 16.1hh. There is also the tiny, yet salient fact that he will be one of the few sons of Snitzel at stud in Queensland, having taken up residence at Oakwood Farm, the Haigslea-based operation of Bob Wood and his daughter Sheridan Victor. Dracarys is the complete package, Ms Victor says. Being by Snitzel means he is going to be popular but besides that hes a great physical specimen and he represents one of the most successful sire lines in the country and we are excited to have him. It seems Dracarys was always destined to be a headline act. He has an immense amount of talent but unfortunately the industry never truly got the chance to see how good he was because he was injured and retired, part-owner Justin Stivano said. Peter Snowden, trainer of nearly 1000 winners and twice successful with colts in the sire-making Golden Slipper Stakes, thought very highly of Dracarys, at one time declaring: He is an extremely talented colt with an exceptional turn of foot. Dracarys success in the Group 3 Up and Coming Stakes at Royal Randwick offered the perfect demonstration of Snowdens lofty evaluation with the colt setting a record tempo to lower the mark of 1:15:08 set by Charlie Boy in 2015. Dracrays was a graduate of Snitzels seventh foal crop just as his sire was beginning to generate interest through his Cox Plate-wining son Shamus Award. Dracarys mother is very good as well. There are few better females in the stud book than Nocturnelle, Mr Stivano said. Nocturnelle, by Gone Wests champion son Elusive Quality and herself a winner on six occasions, is a 2008 daughter of the Victoria Racing Clubs Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes winner Dama De Noche, by Snippets from Danehill matron Daisy Bates. Success beckons. Its in his blood.

10.01.2022 Food for thought from Archie Butterfly: The Greatest Stallion Bargain in History And the Best Value Lower End Sire Too Dracarys is a name that is probably not known to too many horse racing fans, but it should be, for this horse is probably the bet value stallion in Australia.... A son of the mighty super sire Snitzel. Service fee $220 000. Conquerer of Trapeze Artist as a three year old. Service fee $90 000. Beat Ace High in the same race. Service fee $10 000. Sixth to Merchant Navy in the Coolmore. Beat home these colts turned stallions (with their service fee next to their name): The Mission $8 800 Kementari $33 000 Dracarys got injured after the Coolmore, and only started once more. On three legs he was no good, and they retired him to the breeding barn. At only $6 600 he is the snip of the century, particularly with all the QTIS bonuses on offer.’ If you have a mid ranking mare and you want to send her to the next Spirit of Boom, then this bloke is the one I reckon. Take the tip.

03.01.2022 DRACRAYS - where does the name come from, what does it mean and how do you pronounce it? While it may now longer be on our TV screens, the series Game of Thrones (GOT) was responsible for many new figures of speech over its 8 seasons, and there were obviously many GOT fans amongst the racing community as evidenced by the names of some thoroughbreds on the track. DRACARYS is a High Valyrian (a language) term meaning "dragonfire" and is used by the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys T...argaren to command her dragons to breathe fire and generally roast her enemies. We love the name and look forward to some interesting names for DRACARYS foals in the years to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZsqHMI3F3g

01.01.2022 An interview by Thoroughbred Daily News last year with Oakwood Farms Sheridan Victor...... " Dracarys makes a promising start" "Top Echelon has been joined at Oakwood Farm by a new arrival in Dracarys, the Group 3 winning son of Snitzel, who has stood his first season at $6600 (inc GST).... "Hes had about 30 mares so far and we are still getting a few through," she said. "We were initially 50-50 on whether to go this year and suggested to the owners it might be worth waiting until next year. But they wanted to have a little go this year, so thats fine." Dracarys was a $1 million purchase at the 2016 Gold Coast Magic Millions Sale by James Harron, with the best of his performances in seven starts when he broke the Randwick 1300 metre track record in winning the 2017 Up And Coming S. Behind him that day were subsequent Group 1 winners Ace High (High Chaparral {Ire}) and Trapeze Artist (Snitzel). "I think this horse has got a really good chance of making it. If he had have gone on as a racehorse, hed be standing in Scone not here. Hes got a pedigree that you would kill for. He beat Trapeze Artist home and look what hes standing for. Hes just got everything going for him," she said. "Hes got some nice types of mares that have gone to him and it will be very interesting to see what those foals are like. "Hes got some nice types of mares that have gone to him and it will be very interesting to see what those foals are like. " - Sheridan Victor "Hes a very nice type of horse and hes settled in really well. With stallions, you are never quite sure of what you are going to get. Its been good for the other horse (Top Echelon) because the pair of them live side by side and they have a bit of a power struggle every morning when they come out, and then they are good as gold. "Hes been serving really well. His fertility has been really good as well."" ...... https://www.tdnausnz.com.au//lady-banff-emerges-as-classic
