Tara Madgwick - Saturday August 21

Vadeni broke his maiden on debut last month and stepped straight into Black Type company by trainer Jean-Claud Rouget, he showed his class.

Vadeni extended over the final furlong to surge away from Godolphin runner Officer of state to win by two lengths as a short priced favourite
 



Vadeni is a half-brother to stakes-placed horses and is the best of five winners from winning Monsun mare Vaderana, a half-sister to Group winners Vadamar and The Pentagon from Group I winner Vadawina.



Standing at Coolmore Australia this spring at a fee of $22,000, Churchill is building an impressive record with 14 first crop winners in Europe and Vadeni is his second stakes-winner joining the smart filly Ladies Church and Group III placed colt Unconquerable.

Churchill will have his first Australian runners this season.
