Description

Nikau is a striking, scopey mare with medium bone, standing at 16hh. She boasts an impressive pedigree, being a half-sister to stakes winner FEDERAL and closely related to BROADSIDING, the Champion 2 & 3-year-old, as well as Group 1 winners FLIT and TROPICAL SQUALL.

Additionally, she has two HARRY ANGEL fillies to be racing for you in the coming years (yearling and weanling), adding potential upside to this package.

She comes with an exciting pregnancy to OLE KIRK, this season's Leading First Season Sire. OLE KIRK has already produced 11 winners from just 21 runners, including 4 stakes winners – a remarkable 19% stakes winners to runners. His standout juveniles include KING KIRK, O’OLE, PRESTIGE FOREVER, and LEGACY BOUND, with high-potential stakes horses Aerodrome and Prestige Ole waiting in the wings.

With Ole Kirk standing at a fee of $90,000 in 2025, this is a rare opportunity to secure a well-bred mare in foal to one of the most exciting young sires in the country.

Step ahead with a quality mare poised to produce your next star. Don't miss this exceptional breeding opportunity.
