The 2025 foaling season is a particularly exciting one for the Aga Khan Studs, with the arrival of the first foals by both Champion Three-Year-Old Vadeni and group winning miler Erevann.

Vadeni, a record-breaking winner of the Gr.1 Prix du Jockey Club and Gr.1 Eclipse Stakes, covered 128 mares in 2024. His first reported foal was born on 15th January, a bay colt out of multiple winning mare Rue Des Irlandais, bred by Mme Françoise Bérès of Ecurie, who

describes him as “a compact colt, who seems to be a precocious type.”

British and Irish breeders have been heaping praise on the first crop of foals by Mostahdaf, One of Mostahdaf’s earliest foals is a bay colt bred by Nick Bradley out of Seven Empires, a sister to five Stakes winners, including Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed Sevenna’s Knight. Nick Bradley said: “Seven Empires’ colt is strong, correct, athletic with good bone. I’m very happy with him and I will be sending Mostahdaf two more mares this year.”
