Media Release
Closure of Mungrup Stud
A need by the partners to move on, in different directions, has resulted in a decision to close Mungrup Stud.
In determining the best course of action for all - family, dedicated and loyal staff, clients, business associates, general supporters, and themselves, Gray and Jan Williamson have announced today, with great sadness, that the business they have developed over 40 years will be wound up over the next three months.
Jan and Gray would like to extend their deepest thanks to everyone who has supported and been involved in the stud over the years. They would also like to especially thank daughters Ann and Claire and Ann’s husband Tom who, with our loyal and dedicated staff, have helped make Mungrup what it is today.
There have been so many wonderful moments in the span of Mungrup's operation. From the humble beginnings of a $700 stallion and a blind broodmare, to producing the winners of 2 Railway Stakes, 4 Karrakatta plates, 5 Perth Magic Millions 2yo winners, 6 WA Guineas winners - very few black type races in WA have escaped being won by a Mungrup horse. It is something we all can be very proud of.
Highlights in more recent times include watching Kay Cee (by our sire Playing God) win the GR1 Kingston Town, Watch Me Dance (by our sire I'm All The Talk) win the GR2 Sire's Produce and being top vendor at the Perth 2020 Yearling Sale.
The team at Mungrup will continue with all the care and attention to your horses and will be in contact to walk you through the steps going forward.
A dispersal sale of all the Mungrup stock will be held in the near future.

Absolutely a shocking day for WA racing.
Gray helped us out with our second horse I have ever owned. And he went on and won a Roebourne Cup for us. And I am sure he would have done the same for a lot of other people as well.
Very sad day.

If that is the case Falc, Why not try and sell the fruits of your labour and watch it continue on down the track.
If it was me, I would find it very difficult to sell off my passion, piece by piece.

As far as I’m aware it’s a simple matter of retirement and going a different direction.
Time comes for everyone at some point.
And I can’t imagine any breeding organisation in WA being sellable (for the best $ outcome) as a whole.
It’s too associated with the person/s running it.
The parts are always going to be more than the whole.
Is certainly my exit plan, one day - clearance sale the lot, Piece by piece.
