Group 1 winner Heroic Valour (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}–Myrrh {NZ}, by Nassiapour) has been secured by Raheen Stud for stallion duty, where he will stand in 2018, the Queensland stud announced on Monday. Bred by Katom and knocked down to Te Akau Racing for NZ$400,000 at the New Zealand Premier Yearling Sale in 2015, the bay won all three of his juvenile starts for trainers Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards, culminating with a win in the G1 Sistema Diamond S. at Ellerslie in March of 2016. Classic placed as a sophomore in the 2017 G1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas, the half-brother to Group 1 winner Triple Honour (NZ) (Honours List {Ire})’s best finish at four was a runner-up effort in the G3 Darley Stallions Plate. He retires with a record of 19-4-7-3 and earnings of $264,539. Out of a winning daughter of Group 2 winner San Pauli Girl (NZ) (Western Symphony), Heroic Valour will stand for A$7,700.

“All of us at Raheen Stud are really excited at the prospect of standing Heroic Valour,” said Raheen Stud’s manager Basil Nolan, Jr. “We believe he is very competitively priced at A$7,700, particularly as he is a Group 1-winning, unbeated 2-year-old who trained on at three, along with being a well-related son of Fastnet Rock…Some lifetime breeding rights will be made available in the horse.”
