G1 Qatar Prix du Moulin de Longchamp winner Vadamos (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}–Celebre Vadala {Fr}, by Peintre Celebre) will retire to Tally-Ho Stud in Ireland in 2017 after the stud purchased a majority interest in the 5-year-old for Northern Hemisphere duties.

Campaigned over longer distances earlier in his career, Vadamos has hit his best stride this year when racing mostly over a mile. In addition to his career high in the Prix du Moulin Sept. 11, he bested Classic winner Ervedya (Fr) (Siyouni {Ire}) in the G2 Prix du Muguet May 1 and also took the G3 Prix Messidor before finishing second in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois. Vadamos was last seen finishing fourth behind Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) in the G1 Cox Plate Oct. 22, and will wrap up his career in the G1 Emirates S. at Flemington Nov. 5.

“Vadamos has always impressed me with his raw talent,” said Andre Fabre. “It is well documented that no other horse in my yard could beat him in the mornings and his final 200 metre time in the Moulin of 10.47s is absolutely top-class.”

Vadamos's current owners, Andreas Putsch and John Camilleri, will retain shares in the stallion and support him at stud.

“I like speed horses and his performance and time in the Prix du Moulin were exceptional; he has the pedigree, looks, consistency of performance and speed that, for me, makes him an extremely attractive stallion prospect,” said Tally-Ho's Roger O'Callaghan.
