As the breeding season in Japan ends, the three stallions destined for Southern Hemisphere stud duties have entered quarantine in Hokkaido. The stallions set to shuttle are Admire Mars and Maurice, who reside at Shadai Stallion Station, and Satono Aladdin, stationed at Breeders Stallion Station both based in Hokkaido.

After successfully completing their quarantine obligations, and obtaining clearance for export, Admire Mars, will make his third consecutive trip, and Maurice, his sixth season in a row, both are heading to Australia. Satono Aladdin is bound for New Zealand for the fifth time.
