Raheen Stud’s Group I winning Fastnet Rock stallion Heroic Valour has had a flying start to his stud career with his first two runners both saluting in Brisbane metropolitan races.

Heroic Son scored at Doomben on October 2 and then Mishani Persuasion saluted at Eagle Farm on Saturday for Les Ross.

Mishani Persuasion was fifth in the race won by Heroic Son, but with race experience on his side at his second start was able to score a nose win in the 1000m scamper.
 



A homebred for Mishani Enterprises, Mishani Persuasion is the fourth winner from five foals to race from metro winning Commands mare Persuades.

Heroic Valour has received good opportunity covering over 300 mares in his first three seasons at Raheen Stud and strong results at the sales earlier this year has ensured ongoing support this spring.

Heroic Valour had four yearlings average $102,500 at the Magic Millions Book 2 Yearling Sale and across the board he had 40 yearlings sell at an average just shy of $50,000, a fabulous return on his $7,700 service fee.

Given the track record of success for Fastnet Rock sire sons, who include the likes of much missed Hinchinbrook as well as proven Group I sires Smart Missile and Foxwedge there is every reason for optimism as regards Heroic Valour, whose first two runners are winners.

Heroic Valour stands at $7,700 this spring.
