Alamosa
Road to Rock
Handsome Ransom

Sire Line

Since entering stud in 1997, Alamosa’s sire O’Reilly has continued to build a career that now places him within the elite group of New Zealand sires.

The sire of just under 50 stakes winners including ten Group One winners, O’Reilly has developed a record which sees him as a leading progenitor in Australasia and our country’s flag bearer in the ever growing racing hub of Asia. His achievements include Champion Sire of New Zealand in 2007/08, Champion Sire of Hong Kong 2007/08, Dewar Award winner 2008/09 (combined earnings Australia and New Zealand), and his progeny have won races up to the class of the prestigious Gr. 1 MRC Caulfield Cup.

A New Zealand bred horse like Alamosa, O’Reilly’s bloodlines combine two of the world’s most significant sire-lines, his own sire being the Champion Australian sire Last Tycoon and his dam-sire being the twice GB/IRE Champion Sire Mill Reef.

A highly influential sire, the blood of O’Reilly is hotly sort after by all of New Zealand’s leading markets, and Alamosa offers breeders their first chance to access this blood through O’Reilly’s next generation.
