Aussie Based Breeder Celebrates Irish Oaks Winner

Media Release - Thursday July 23

Brisbane based breeder Rick Hill got an understandably massive thrill watching Even So (Camelot) winning last weekend’s Group I Irish Oaks at The Curragh as he is fortunate to own her winning High Chaparral half-sister So Ard,.

So Ard is resident at Rich Hill Stud in New Zealand and has produced two stunning fillies for him by Vadamos. Rick is very excited that So Ard is foaling in October to the stud's young Japanese shuttler Satono Aladdin (Jpn).

So Ard is out of a wonderful international Group 1 winning family which features English Derby winner Dr Devious, The Oaks winner Dancing Rain, Coolmore’s own Saxon Warrior, and Takamatsunomiya Kinen winner Suzuka Phoenix.

Rick’s looking forward to racing his Vadamos filly (pictured), who was broken-in at Sam Beatson’s Riversley Park and is now finishing her first pre-training prep in Cambridge with Margaret Falconer.
