Radium (horse)

This son of the outstanding campdrafter, Cecil (1899, by Red Gauntlet from Meretha II) from Black Bess by Hukatere (1882) was foaled on 11 November 1918.

Radium was broken in by Archie Grant and Bill Tout when he was a two-year-old, after which he had several trips to the Cooplacurripa area.

Donald Beaton often drove long distances to compete at bushman’s carnivals with Radium tied behind the buggy.

Herb O’Neill competed extensively with Radium, winning over a large area of the state.

[2] Radium stood at stud on "Kunderang Station" (now part of Oxley Wild Rivers National Park) for much of his life and had at least thirteen of his sons appear in Australian Stock Horse pedigrees.
