The dam of Sue Adios was the Van Dieman mare Cuidado from The Brat family. She left four winners including Curragh Dan, winner of the Lightning Hcp at Addington.

Sue Adios, born in NZ, was purchased at 1972 National Yearling Sales by Delvan Rickerby and exported to Australia in November 1973 where she raced for the next six seasons. She was to win a total of 17 races for Little River publican Delvan Rickerby who retained a share in her. She commenced with 5 wins at three including the inaugural Ladyship Mile(Ladyship Championship, 2350m), at Harold Park in 1974. Sue Adios only raced on four occasions at four for two placings. She managed 8 wins at 5(5 'old' Menangle track, 1 Harold Park), a further one from three 6yo starts, 3 wins at seven(Harold Park, Mooney Valley, Gold Coast FFA) and was placed in her only start at eight.
Her first three foals were by ill-fated sire Overtrick(champion American pacer and arch rival of Cardigan Bay) who stood in NSW and then to Land Grant, Gatwick and Vanston Hanover. The only progeny of Sue Adios to race in NZ was her second foal, born in Australia, the well-performed filly Adios Trick.
Sue Adios male progeny included:
Vanston Adios, 13 wins(6 Harold Park, 3 Albion Park), NSW Christmas Gift and Sir Galahad, 15 wins(8 at Harold Park, 1 at Albion Park).

Southland filly Chipaluck looks to have a mortgage on the DB Export Flying Fillies Final at Alexandra Park after her runaway victory in the Nevele R Stud NZ Oaks.
Chipaluck was having her 15th start for the season and she has come through a campaign, which has seldom seen her enjoy an easy run, in peak condition. Driver Kerry O'Reilly took her to the front at the 1800 metres and from then on, she had her rivals well covered. Jack Smolenski took Adios Trick forward to sit in the open at the 1200 metres, pulling a punctured tire from there, but she was beaten soon after turning from home and finished ninth. Chipaluck established a winning break at that stage and maintained a three length advantage to the line, posting 3:21.1 for the mobile 2600 metres. It was left to Maddie to battle gamely into second nearly four lengths clear of Springfield Countess, conqueror of Chipaluck in the Southland Oaks.
Southland fillies have enjoyed a successful couple of seasons in the NZ Oaks, Josephine Bret running out an impressive winner last term.
Springfield Countess enjoyed a good run behind Passover early, improved on the home turn, and fought on well to take third b a length from Bonover, who also ran on well without threatening. Lunar Dawn, who lead early then trailed Chipaluck, had little left in the straight, finishing fifth, while Golden Rolex just battled into sixth ahead of Folie Bergere who did not get the best of runs.
Trained by Ron MacDonald at Myross Bush, and raced by him in partnership with his son Charles, Chipaluck is out of the unraced Majestic Chance mare Native Chance. She has earned $39,505, the result of five wins, three seconds and four thirds from her 15 races, all this season.
