Australian trotting breeders are set to gain access to one of the most accomplished racehorses and exciting young sires in the world, with World Champion Gimpanzee joining the Cobbitty Equine Farm stallion roster for the upcoming breeding season in partnership with Dancing On Moonlight.
The arrival of Gimpanzee represents a major coup for Australian trotting breeding and a significant opportunity for breeders seeking access to elite international bloodlines without leaving home.
Widely regarded as the greatest performed son of legendary super sire Chapter Seven, Gimpanzee retired with a race record that few modern trotters can match. A winner of 25 races from 34 starts, he earned almost $2.8 million, was unbeaten in nine starts as a two-year-old and became only the fifth trotter in history to win three Breeders Crown titles.
His résumé includes victories in the Yonkers Trot, Hambletonian Maturity, John Cashman Memorial and Caesars Trotting Classic, while his consistency was extraordinary, finishing outside the top four only once throughout his entire career.
Honoured as USA Two-Year-Old Trotter of the Year, USA Older Trotting Horse of the Year and USA Trotter of the Year, Gimpanzee has since been inducted into the Living Horse Hall of Fame, cementing his place among the sport’s modern greats.

Importantly for Australian breeders, Gimpanzee is already delivering in the breeding barn.
His first crops have produced more than $4.6 million in earnings, 24 individual $100,000 earners and 59 performers in 1:55 or faster. His progeny have generated more than $12.7 million in yearling sales, highlighted by two $800,000 yearlings and a growing list of stakes winners and Grand Circuit performers.
The arrival of Gimpanzee gives Australian breeders access to one of the hottest young trotting stallions in North America at the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable Southern Hemisphere stud career.
Standing in New South Wales, the opportunity to access a stallion of this calibre locally is significant. Combining elite performance, world-class pedigree, commercial appeal and proven early sire success, Gimpanzee offers breeders a genuine opportunity to breed the next generation of elite trotters.
