Kia Ora Stallions Brochure Online

Tara Madgwick - Thursday July 4

Exciting times are coming for Kia Ora Stallions later this year with the first runners by foundation sires Golden Slipper winner Farnan and blue-blood Redoute’s Choice son Prague.

By proven sire of sires Not a Single Doubt, Farnan is from a Group III winning mare by influential sire Street Cry (IRE), whose daughters produced five Australian Group I winners this season.

Farnan has the pedigree to back up his Golden Slipper win and is poised to follow in the footsteps of all the champion sires of the past that have won the world’s richest race for juveniles.

Stamped in the image of his legendary sire Redoute’s Choice, Prague was a fast Group winning juvenile with Group I performance at two and three and traces in tail female line to one of the great champion Australian mares in Emancipation.

The first Group I winning son of Capitalist to go to stud, Captivant will have his first yearlings selling in 2025 and returns for a third season at a slightly reduced fee.
