Bought as a £32,000 yearling and sent into training with Rebecca Menzies, Adonius — a son of the fast sire Soldier's Call — has been a revelation, unbeaten in three starts as a two-year-old. After two wins at Musselburgh, he blazed clear in the Lily Agnes Stakes at Chester on 6 May 2026 to stamp himself one of the season's leading juvenile sprinters.
It's exactly the kind of horse we set out to find — and a story we intend to repeat with the horses we have available now.
Off the back of his unbeaten start, Adonius attracted serious international interest — and we sold a half-share to leading American investors Riverdee Stable and West Paces Racing of Virginia. He's now being aimed at the biggest stages, with Royal Ascot and the Breeders' Cup on the agenda. It's real proof that a well-chosen, well-managed horse can be sold on — and that ownership with Foal to the Finish has genuine upside.
