Tasmanian breeding received another significant lift this week with the acquisition of former smart racemare Jaguar Stone, purchased by Philip Bingley for $27,500 in the Magic Millions Online Sale.

A tough, consistent and high‑quality performer, Jaguar Stone retired at the end of February with an excellent race résumé: 6 wins, 19 placings, 36 starts and $336,550 in prizemoney under leading trainer Adam Trinder. Her career highlights include victory in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, a runner‑up finish in the Group 3 Vamos Stakes, and further black‑type placings in both the Newmarket and the Gold Sovereign.

Importantly for breeders, Jaguar Stone brings genuine depth on the pedigree page. By Spieth, she is out of Leopard Skin, an unraced daughter of Tale Of The Cat and a direct descendant of the legendary matriarch Dark Jewel — one of the most influential female families in the Australian Stud Book. It’s a line renowned for producing speed, toughness and commercial appeal.

Bingley — who balances his Bridport building business with a growing and increasingly successful thoroughbred breeding operation — continues to champion Tasmanian bloodstock on the national stage. His strong results at February’s Tasmanian Sale underline that momentum, selling a half‑sister to Swift Glow to John Keys for $70,000, along with a Dalasan colt purchased by South Australian trainer Andrew Gluyas for $40,000.

The addition of Jaguar Stone represents another valuable step forward for a breeder committed to elevating the quality, reputation and commercial strength of Tasmanian‑bred horses.
