You can be Right, you can be Wrong. But you can never be Certain.
In a land where millionaires are revered for what they are, A.P. ARROW earned $1,5million in a racing career noted for its class, its courage and its durability. A tall, athletic horse, his lustre is enhanced by his superb bloodlines, coming as he does from the daughter of the greatest broodmare in American history, MR. PROSPECTOR, and being a half brother to another millionaire.
We expect A.P. ARROW to bring class and an ability to accelerate when the chips are down, and his own brand of athleticism to the mating table.
Our panel of experts are able to provide a formal mating recommendation for all of Summerhill's resident stallions, embracing an evaluation of the physical compatibility of your mare with the stallion of your choice, an appraisal of relevant elements such as soundness, durability, speed, stamina, athleticism, temperament and courage a record of duplicated ancestors (and where applicable the reasons for duplicating) and the prospective matings aptitude profile.
Should you wish to avail yourself of this comprehensive service, please contact Stallion Bookings Manager, Linda Norval.

One of the truisms of the A.P. Indy tribe, is they get better with age. And they get better with distance. Heck, they just get better.

So the R699,000 average at last month's Cape Premier Yearling Sale was a little beyond your pocket - Summerhill Stud have just what the doctor ordered at their 2017 Emperors Palace Summer Ready-To-Run Sale.
You never know where the good ones are going to come from, more so given the history of the number of outstanding racehorses Summerhill has sold right off the farm by stallions you might unkindly describe as past their “sell-by-date”.
KwaZulu-Natal's Equus National Champion Breeders Summerhill Stud dominates the various categories in the 2016 KZN Breeders Awards with 14 nominations, amongst them the likes of Rabada, No Worries, Heaps Of Fun, Intergalactic, Witchcraft and Arch Rival.
Hell, the A.P. Arrows just get better. Smart breeders already know where their bread is buttered. They also know that the country’s richest races are at 2000m and beyond.
Week-in, week-out, Summerhill sales graduates deliver the goods for those with a discerning taste.
Before he began his current tenure at Ballydoyle and changed the modern face of racing, Aidan O’Brien was transforming the careers of jumpers at Piltown, and it is down to that affinity with long-distance horses that has made him one of the most notable names in the story of the revival of Royal Ascot’s centrepiece, the Group One Gold Cup.
Summerhill-breds were once again making a name for themselves in this weekend’s big races. 1st – Arch Rival for Geoff Woodruff and Neil Smith in the Gold Bowl (Gr.2), 3rd – Heaps Of Fun for Sean Tarry, Nchakha Moloi and Chris van Niekerk in the Camellia Stakes (Gr.2).
The Summerhill-bred Arch Rival provided his sire A.P. Arrow with his first Graded Stakes win, taking the Grade 2 Gold Bowl over Turffontein's 3200m on Champions Day Saturday.
These “cheapies” join the likes of Lebeoana (cost R40k, 10 wins to date) by A.P. Arrow, I Got You Babe (cost R7k, 7 wins) by Solskjaer and Ginger Biscuit (cost R20k, 4 wins to date) by Admire Main. And let’s not forget, they don’t always have to be the height of fashion. South Africa’s winning-most racehorse of all times Hear The Drums (cost R42k, by Gold Press) visited the winner's enclosure 34 times, while Imbongi (Russian Revival), Pierre Jourdan (Parade Leader) and Paris Perfect (3rd in the Dubai World Cup Gr.1) were all sold off the farm and all scooped north of R5million each at the races.
