Vadamos Foals Turning Heads

Breednet - Thursday September 13
It is no surprise to anyone in the New Zealand breeding industry that Vadamos is leaving a top line of first crop foals as he's considered by many judges to be among the best-looking stallions in the world.

The Group 1 winning son of Monsun is now stamping his progeny with his own great quality and physical presence as you can see in the attached photos.

"We were looking forward to Vadamos's first foals and they have really lived up to all expectations at this early stage," Rich Hill's Managing Director John Thompson said.

"They are all strong bays and browns with quality heads. They also look to have Vadamos' great shoulder, with plenty of natural muscle."

Vadamos is by breed-shaping sire great MONSUN, from one of the world's top international families developed by the Aga Khan. He was a winner of France's most prestigious mile, the Gr.1 Prix du Moulin for champion trainer Andre Fabre.
