Alpine Edge to Stand at Clear Mountain Fairview

Media Release - Thursday March 28

Alpine Edge will stand at Clear Mountain Fairview on the Darling Downs, Queensland as a 2024 freshman sire.

Standing at a fee of $7,700, the Group winning son of Better Than Ready, is an exciting addition to the Queensland breeding ranks.

Alpine Edge retires to stand at a fee of $7,700.

Alpine Edge was an exceptional two-year-old, winning his first two starts at Group and Listed level, including the Group 3 B.J. McLachlan Stakes, prior to Christmas.

Alpine Edge’s racing career saw him collect over $1.8m in earnings and a long list of achievements while in the Toby Edmonds racing stable.

Breeder and part-owner, Richard Foster is thrilled that Alpine Edge will stand at stud in Queensland, allowing breeders to access two-year-old blood for successful QTIS racing. 

“Alpine Edge offers a unique combination of the famous La Troienne dynasty that has produced early two-year-old’s that train on to champions, for nearly a century around the world.

“His sire, Better Than Ready and grandsire, More Than Ready are loaded with descendants and his dam, Freezethemillions, who is also loaded with descendants, was a talented two-year-old herself.

“Alpine Edge carries this line in all four quarters of his pedigree giving him an extremely prepotent genetic makeup, free of Danehill,” Foster ended.

Clear Mountain Fairview Stud Principal, Bob Frappell, is delighted with the addition to their stallion roster.

“When the opportunity arose to stand Alpine Edge, we jumped at it because it is rare to stand such an exceptional two-year-old performer,” stated Bob Frappell.

“Alpine Edge is a beautiful looking horse with a superb temperament, so breeders can send mares confident their foals will be similar to their father’s disposition.

“Alpine Edge enables breeders to obtain QTIS eligible progeny that will be ready to hit the ground running as juveniles, just like their sire.

“Alpine Edge represents incredible value at $7,700, a fraction of the service fee of his sire,” Frappell said.

Shares are available in Alpine Edge at $15,000 which includes two nominations per year for the life of the stallion.

Frappell believes Alpine Edge represents true value for money.

“This is a unique investment opportunity which allows breeders to get involved with owning a stallion at an affordable price,” said Frappell.

“Alpine Edge has an exciting future as he embarks on his next journey as a stallion at stud,” Frappell ended.
