60th Stakes-Winner for Holy Roman Emperor

Tara Madgwick - Saturday October 29

Shuttling to Aquis Farm this spring, Holy Roman Emperor (IRE) passed a milestone overnight when siring his 60^th stakes-winner with a win in the Listed Cooley Fillies Stakes at Dundalk in Ireland for three year-old filly Kadra.

Holy Roman Emperor

Prepared by Michael Halford, she powered clear from a big field to win the one mile contest by a length, her fourth win from nine starts.

A homebred for the Aga Khan, Kadra is the first winner for unraced Dalakhani mare Kadayna, a daughter of stakes-winner Kadaka from the family of Epsom Derby winner Kahyasi.

Holy Roman Emperor has proved very popular at Aquis Farm this spring at a fee of $9,900 and has a key runner today at Flemington with his brilliant daughter Sheidel looking for further Black Type in the Group III VRC Sensis Stakes.
