Trish Dunell
Heroic Valour has been signed by Queensland’s Raheen Stud for 2018.
Trained by Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards, the son of Fastnet Rock was unbeaten as a two-year-old including victory in the Gr.1 Diamond Stakes (1200m) and the Listed Reid & Harrison Slipper (1200m).
The following season he added the Listed Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) to his record and finished third in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m).
A half-brother to the Gr.1 Doncaster Handicap (1600m) winner Triple Honour, Heroic Valour was bought at Karaka in 2015 by Te Akau principal David Ellis for $400,000 out of Curraghmore’s draft.
He will stand his first season at Raheen at A$7700.
