Three Winners for Belardo

Media Release - Sunday June 14

Haunui Farm shuttle stallion Belardo continued a stellar start to his stallion career in Europe as the Clive Cox-trained Isabella Giles ran out an easy winner over 1200m at Leicester on Saturday to become his third first-crop winner.

Golden Melody put Belardo on the board when taking out a 1200m event by 2-1/4 lengths at Haydock, in England, while Got Luck was just as notable when winning by a length on debut over 1300m at Craon, in France.

Sent off the 9/4 favourite, Isabella Giles justified her odds when she lead over the final 400m to beat Famille Rose by half a length with another neck back to Alghada in third.

Isabella Giles is out of Gr.3-winning Dubawi mare Majestic Dubawi, making her a half-sister to Listed winner Majestic Colt.

Further back in her pedigree is the family of Gr.3 winner Lope Y Fernandez who finished third behind Siskin in the Gr.1 Irish 2,000 Guineas (1600m) at the Curragh on Saturday evening.

Belardo

Belardo is set to return to Haunui Farm this coming breeding season where he will stand for a fee of $10,000+gst. He has covered 314 mares over his first three seasons at stud in New Zealand.

Blue Light Enhances Breeding Success
For successful breeding outcomes, timing is everything. The horse’s natural reproductive period coincides with the light-filled days of summer. As seasonal breeders, the naturally lengthening days of spring suppress melatonin and in turn stimulate reproductive hormones that maximise fertility for both mares and stallions.
