Heroic Start for Raheen Young Gun Sire

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Friday January 7

In 2021, Basil Nolan and his family were excited to be selling the first yearlings at Magic Millions by their well credentialled young stallion Heroic Valour and fast forward 12months and the Group I winning son of Fastnet Rock is set to have at least two runners in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic.

A brilliant Group I winning 2YO in New Zealand, Heroic Valour has been quick to make his presence felt with three winners – two of them metro winners - and two placegetters from just eight starters with Heroic Son and Mishani Persuasion both well placed on the order of entry for the big $2million race next Saturday.

Heroic Valour is doing a great job for Raheen Stud, click for more information.

Raheen Stud will offer 18 yearlings at Magic Millions next week including 11 by Heroic Valour, whose progeny averaged $102,500 in Book 2 last year when they were well received with good reason!
