Last season’s Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr1) winner, Nadeem has been retired and will stand at Darley’s New South Wales operation for the upcoming breeding season. His fee has been set at AUS$33,000 (inc. GST).
Raced by Sheikh Hamdan, the AUS$700,000 yearling purchase underwent surgery to a fractured cannon bone last March, and complications ensued when he then suffered a severe bout of colic.
Nadeem, sold by Edinglassie Stud at Inglis Easter, is from NZ 1000 Guineas (Gr 1) and NZ Oaks (Gr 1) winner Candide (Sound Reason), the dam of seven winners including HK Stewards’ Cup (Gr 1) victor Billion Win (Coronation Day), who won 11 races and placed in a further three Group 1 races.
Nadeem—the first third crop takes winnerfor his dominant sire -- was fourth on debut to boom filly I Got Chills (General Nediym) then won the Group 3 Maribyrnong Plate by almost three lengths from Follow The Till (General Nediym). He scored the Blue Diamond Stakes by a similar margin from rivals Miss Finland, Wonderful World and Due Sasso at his next outing, on the same day that Snitzel won the Oakleigh Plate (Gr 1).
