Your Song value plus at $5,500

Greg Tobin - Friday May 12

Gooree Park has announced that prolific sire, Your Song, will again stand this season at a fee of $5,500.

It’s a timely announcement too, coming hot on the hooves of Rhythmic Pulse’s resounding win at Randwick-Kensington on Wednesday – the sprinter’s seventh career victory.

Your Song

The Your Song winners have indeed been plentiful in recent weeks with Bold Face scoring easily in Hobart and Aoide resuming with a powerful win across the pond in New Zealand, while Mishani Sniper is a first class sprinter for Les Ross, winning at Ipswich, Doomben and Eagle Farm before a close second at Eagle Farm in his last four starts. Plenty of good news on the 2YO front too with Super News winning very impressively on debut at Wyong.

A Group 1 winner in his own right, Your Song is by super sire, Fastnet Rock and boasts a strike rate of 66% winners to runners with $27 million in progeny earnings, while his stakes winners include Brave Song, Gem Song, Jaja Chaboogie, Miss Exfactor, Frankie Pinot and Split Lip.

A $5,500 fee for a stallion of this calibre? That really is going for a Song.
