Forego Victor Win Win Win to Stand at Ocala Stud

Live Oak Plantation homebred Win Win Win (Hat Trick {Jpn}–Miss Smarty Pants, by Smarty Jones), who capped his career with a head-turning last-to-first victory in Saratoga’s GI Forego S. Aug. 29, will take up stud duties next year at Ocala Stud for a fee of $5,000 LFSN. He will stand as property of a partnership between Live Oak, Ocala Stud and Airdrie Stud.

“We are very excited to add Win Win Win to our roster,” said Ocala Stud’s David O’Farrell. “He’s a big, grand-looking horse with a lot of presence. His record-setting speed, versatility, and classic bloodline which consists of three Kentucky Derby winners give Win Win Win a great opportunity to become a top sire.”

Conditioned by Mike Trombetta, Win Win Win was a debut winner at two who took Tampa’s Pasco S. by 7 1/2 lengths last January before finishing third in the GII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby and second in the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. After contesting both the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S., he showed off his versatility with a score in Belmont’s Manila S. last July. He ran down GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Complexity (Maclean’s Music) and three other Grade I winners from what seemed like an impossible spot in this August’s Forego.

“The combination of Win Win Win’s tremendous talent and the opportunity he will receive at Ocala Stud is why we’re so excited to partner on his stallion career,” said Airdrie Stud’s Bret Jones. “No one will give this horse a better chance to succeed than Ocala Stud and we look forward to doing our part by supporting him heavily in each of his early years at stud. I know the Live Oak team has always believed he was a genuine star, and we are grateful to Mrs. Weber for letting Airdrie play a role in his exciting future.”

A descendant of the potent Halo sire line, Win Win Win’s second dam is SW and GSP Devotion Unbridled (Unbridled), who in turn produced GSW Unbridled Humor (Distorted Humor).

Seeking the Soul to Stand at Ocala Stud

Charles Fipke’s Grade I-winning multimillionaire Seeking the Soul (Perfect Soul {Ire}) has arrived at Ocala Stud to take up stud duties in 2021, Fipke Stable announced on Twitter.

“I am really pleased that Ocala Stud will stand Seeking the Soul,” Fipke said. “They are one of the most important stud farms in Florida, with a great and long history of success, and I look forward to Seeking the Soul joining their roster and program. Years ago, I sent my first mare to board at Ocala Stud while breeding her to Kris S. in Florida, so I am well aware of their history and record of success. I will send my champion Forever Unbridled to Seeking the Soul–that’s how much I believe in the horse. He’s a Grade I winner from the family of Personal Ensign.”

A three-time graded stakes winner, Seeking the Soul’s crowning achievement came when capturing the GI Clark H. in 2017. Trained by Dallas Stewart, he added the GII Stephen Foster S. over the same Churchill track the following spring and retired with $3,470,153 in earnings over 32 starts. A stud fee will be announced at a later date.
