Shadyshark Hanover, the fastest 3-year-old in North America last year and a member of the Cam Fella sireline, has been purchased for stud duties in Australia and will stand his first ‘Down Under’ season at the Morley Park stud, Shepparton, of Steve and Ann O’Donoghue.
Bought by Western Districts breeder and trainer Ian Slater, the young stallion has entered quarantine in Kentucky and will arrive at his Goulburn Valley base in early September.
Shadyshark Hanover took his record of 1:47.4 by winning a division of the Oliver Wendell Holmes at the Meadowlands, establishing a new stakes record in the process.
His service fee for his introductory season will be A$2,750 including GST.
