Unencumbered is the latest three-year-old to join this year's stallion roster after the son of Testa Rossa was retired to Three Bridges in Victoria to stand at a fee of $13,200. The Bjorn Baker-trained sprinter was a super two-year-old, his greatest moment being in the Magic Millions, a race in which Snitzel and Not A Single Doubt were placed and went on to prove marvellous acquisitions at Arrowfield Stud. Unencumbered won $1.9 million and will stand alongside Stryker at Three Bridges. The latter's progeny were sought-after youngsters at the main yearling sales this year. Paxton Park in New Zealand has also gained a new sire for its roster after Melbourne Cup placegetter Jakkalberry, which was third behind Green Moon in 2012, joined the stud. A winner of almost $2.1 million in prizemoney after 11 wins in three continents for Newmarket trainer Marco Botti, Jakkalberry will stand at $NZ6000 ($5520).
