With eight wins from 19 starts and five placings, Vadamos has been a model of
consistency at the highest level and is currently the joint-leading older miler
in Europe, having raced over middle distances as a three-year-old.The highlight of his 2016 season came when recording a comfortable success in the Group I Prix du Moulin at Chantilly, defeating the likes of Zelzal, Zarak and Dutch Connection.
"Vadamos has always impressed me with his raw talent," said trainer Andre Fabre. "It's well documented that no other horse in my yard could beat him in the mornings and his final furlong time in the Moulin of 10.47s is absolutely top-class."
Tally-Ho Stud's Roger O'Callaghan said: "I like speed horses and his performance and time in the Prix du Moulin were exceptional. He has the pedigree, looks, consistency of performance and speed that, for me, makes him an extremely attractive stallion prospect."
Bred by part-owners Haras de Saint Pair, Vadamos is one of 21 Group I winners by champion German sire Monsun and comes from a female family of high-class milers and middle-distance horses which has been nurtured by Jean-Luc Lagardere, the Aga Khan and Haras de Saint Pair.
Vadamos is scheduled to have his final start in the Group I VRC Emirates Stakes (2000m) during the Melbourne Cup meeting at Flemington on November 5.
His current owners, Andreas Putsch of Haras de Saint Pair and John Camilleri of Fairway Thoroughbreds, will both retain shares and will support Vadamos at stud.
