Tara Madgwick - Thursday April 27

Young Snitzel stallion Sooboog is heading north to Queensland to stand at Clear Mountain Fairview after six years with Kitchwin Hills in the Hunter Valley.

Sooboog

Clear Mountain studmaster Bob Frappell agreed to a deal with Kitchwin, through Magic Millions, to buy the rising 11-year-old stallion to stand alongside resident sires Worthy Cause (Choisir) and Love Conquers All (Mossman).

The trio will all stand at a fee of $5,500 (inc GST), with payment on live foal terms.

“He has got a lot of runners behind him, each week he gets winners and we’re happy to have him,” Frappell said yesterday.

“We thought he was a good sprinting type who would go well in Queensland.”

Sooboog is the sire of 83 individual winners including with his best performer the Grou[ II MRC Thousand Guineas Prelude winner Boogie Dancer and stakes-placed juveniles Port Albert and Birdsville.

Worthy Cause is best known as the sire of outstanding Group I winning mare Hinged, while Love Conquers All has five stakes winners to his name, including Group II winning mares Savanna Amour and Love You Lucy.
