Arcadia Family Puts Spotlight on Holbrook Thoroughbreds

Tara Madgwick - Thursday April 4

Julie Harris's Holbrook Thoroughbreds is the Hunter Valley nursery from which many of the Peters superstars emerge and they are also preparing a select offering of Peters bred yearlings that will be offered in the Holbrook draft.

Among them are three youngsters from the famed 'Arcadia' family that has enjoyed spectacular success in recent years producing Group I WATC Kingston Town Classic winner Arcadia Queen, Group II WA Derby winners Arcadia Dream and Action as well as this season's Group III winner Arcadia Prince and stakes-winner Regal Power.

All three are from the first crop of Golden Slipper winner Vancouver and are listed below.
