Exciting First Winner for Heroic Valour

Tara Madgwick - Saturday October 2

Raheen Stud have a lot of faith in their young Fastnet Rock stallion Heroic Valour and as a Group I winning two year-old it was no surprise to see him post his first race winner at Doomben on Saturday with Heroic Son making a perfect start to his career.

Trained by Peter and Will Hulbert at Eagle Farm, Heroic Son showed good talent in two previous barrier trials and delivered the goods on raceday when it counted.

He hit the line hard to win the 1050m scamper by a length and a quarter to the great delight of his connections.

“We’re one step closer to the Magic Millions!,” declared Will Hulbert.
 


Heroic

Son was a $50,000 Magic Millions Book 2  purchase for his trainers from the Kenmore Lodge draft and is the first foal from Pirelli Princess, a winning daughter of stakes-winner Princess Margaret and half-sister to the dam of stakes-winner Over Exposure.

Heroic son was a $50,000 Magic Millions purchase.

Heroic Valour has received good opportunity covering over 300 mares in his first three seasons and strong results at the sales earlier this year has ensured ongoing support this spring.

Heroic Valour had four yearlings average $102,500 at the Magic Millions Book 2 Yearling Sale and across the board he had 40 yearlings sell at an average just shy of $50,000, a fabulous return on his $7,700 service fee.

Given the track record of success for Fastnet Rock sire sons, who include the likes of much missed Hinchinbrook as well as proven Group I sires Smart Missile and Foxwedge there is every reason for optimism as regards Heroic Valour.

Heroic Valour is on the board with his first winner!

Heroic Valour stands at $7,700 this spring.
