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.
