\"Nostradamus1\"<\/a>Making his second start for Phillip Stokes, Nostradamus scored a hard-fought win in Saturday’s Group III Hughes Limos R N Irwin Stakes (1100m) at Morphettville.<\/p>\n

Ridden by Dom Tourneur, Nostradamus came with a rattling finish from well back in the field to defeat I Am Gypsy (I Am Invincible) by a long-head with Runway Star (Northern Meteor) one and a quarter-length back in third.<\/p>\n

It was his first win for the 4yo entire since he captured the Group III Gold Coast Guineas (1200m) twelve months ago when trained by Team Hawkes.<\/p>\n

His overall record stands at 4 wins and 2 seconds from 18 starts for earnings of $394,030.<\/p>\n

A first crop son of the top-class stallion Medaglia D’Oro (USA), Nostradamus earned the honour of becoming the first southern hemisphere-bred stakes-winner for the son of El Prado when he defeated Washington Heights, Law and Wandjina in the Group III San Domenico Stakes at Rosehill Gardens back in August 2014.<\/p>\n

Now with several prominent Victorian Stud’s including Rosemont, Lauriston and Musk Creek in the ownership, a stud career for Nostradamus looks assured.<\/p>\n

Bred by Ken Turner’s Almavale Bloodstock, Nostradamus was purchased by Koundouris Bloodstock for $500,000 at the 2013 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling sale.<\/p>\n

He is a half-brother to Widden Stud’s promising young stallion Star Witness (Starcraft) who won the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes at two and the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at three before performing credibly in Europe finishing second in the Group 1 King Stand Stakes and third in the Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.<\/p>\n

Both are out of the Group III winner Leone Chiara (Lion Hunter), a sister to multiple Group II winner Chinchilla Rose and Group II winner and successful young stallion Ferocity, and a half-sister to Listed stakes-winner Chiaramonte (Redoute’s Choice).<\/p>\n

Leone Chiara has an unraced 2yo Sepoy filly named Princess Wildfire who failed to make her $1 million reserve at the 2015 Easter Yearling sale and a yearling Sepoy colt that came up short of his $250,000 reserve at this year’s Easter Yearling sale.<\/p>\n

After foaling a colt by Sebring last spring, Leone Chiara was bred back to Widden Stud’s Golden Slipper winner.<\/p>\n
