Sydney, Australia – 14^th November 2024 

Australian Bloodstock is thrilled to announce the addition of one of Europe’s most exciting thoroughbreds, VAUBAN, to its stable of world-class racehorses. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in Australian Bloodstock’s ongoing commitment to bringing elite international talent to Australia and bolstering its lineup of top-tier racing prospects.

Vauban, a 6-year-old bay gelding, brings an impressive track record, including victories at prestigious European events under the skilled training of Willie Mullins but will now join legendary trainer Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.

Known for his incredible stamina, speed, and racing intelligence, Vauban is a true world elite horse. With multiple stakes wins and a reputation for tenacity on the field, Vauban is set to make a thrilling addition to the Australian racing scene.

Australian Bloodstock Co-Founder Luke Murrell expressed his excitement about this acquisition "We’ve always focused on identifying horses with that special combination of talent, adaptability, and consistency. Vauban is a perfect example of a horse that possesses those traits in abundance. We’re excited to bring him to Australian shores, and we are confident he’ll be successful down here. With a time form rating of 119 that is the same level that Gold Trip was and we saw what he was capable of doing down here. He also has speed in his legs which has seen him on multiple occasions where he has run home in elite sectional times"

Future Plans for Vauban in Australia

As Vauban prepares to settle in, Australian Bloodstock’s team is eager to integrate him into Australia’s racing landscape and showcase his abilities in upcoming major races. His arrival signals a new chapter for Australian Bloodstock, which remains dedicated to elevating the calibre of international horses within the Australian racing circuit.
