Tara Madgwick - Monday February 5

While off chasing my showjumping dream at Berry Show last weekend, I was a little sidetracked when someone said to me ‘that’s Art Cadeau!’

A superstar for Terry Robinson and his family during a 30 start career that yielded seven wins and nine placings plus $1.5million, Art Cadeau was officially retired after finishing seventh at Randwick on January 6.

He shot to fame in 2021 winning the $500,000 Newhaven Park Country Championships Final and then the $1.3million Kosciuszko to the great delight of all his South Coast fans.

Art Cadeau was making his first appearance in the equestrian world at Berry Show and took part in the led thoroughbred classes with plans in place for him to progress towards Equimillion later this year.

Breednet’s Family Search feature is very good for sniffing out close relations to stakes-winners in upcoming sales and one of the most interesting stakes-winners from Saturday was Shamus Award gelding Willaidow and being from a well known female family he was always going to be a good candidate for a search.
