History Kia Ora's Guide to The Future

Kia Ora Stud, one of Australia’s most distinguished stud farms with a history that stretches back more than a century, is on the verge of returning to its halcyon days when it was as famous for its stallions as its prized yearlings. Those sires included household names Magpie, Midstream, Delville Wood, Gunsynd and Baguette. Kia Ora’s return to the stallion ranks could not have been better orchestrated, headed by a boom freshman sire who follows in the hoof-prints of Australia’s most famous stallion-making race. At a debut stud fee of $55,000 inc GST, it would surprise nobody to know that Gr1 Golden Slipper champion Farnan (Not A Single Doubt-Fallow, by Street Cry) is already fully booked. Rated by Timeform as the most dominant Champion 2YO this century, the multiple Group-winning juvenile – he also captured the Gr2 Todman Stakes and Gr2 Silver Slipper – is by emerging Gr1 Sire of Sires Not A Single Doubt (Redoute’s Choice) whose progeny have excelled this racing season.
