"Kia Ora's growing stallion roster is particularly exciting for me. Farnan and Prague have had a fantastic start at stud, covering quality books of mares, with their first foals hitting the ground later this year.

"Along with the recent acquisition of Captivant, another top-class 2YO colt and spectacular physical type, there's plenty to look forward to," Belle concluded.
