Young sire Alado received a boost when his close relation, Aussie Rules, landed Thursday's Somerville Tattersalls (Gp3).

Aussie Rules is a grandson of Alado's sire Danzig.

Alado's dam, Alborada, is a three-parts sister to high-class Last Second-the dam of Aussie Rules. The latter had previously placed in two group races.
Alado is standing his first season at Oaklands.
