Soho Tribeca’s stocks are soaring

Soho Tribeca, the seven-time Group winning son of the great American Ideal who is again standing at Llowalong Farms, Kyabram (Vic.), is carving a niche for himself as a sire with his first harness racing crop as two-year-olds.

From 87 foals, the millionaire racehorse has been represented by 27 starters and 14 have emerged successful and eight have been placed.

They have banked stakes totalling $202,222, behind only his studmate Poster Boy ($529,951), Stay Hungry, Captain Crunch and McWicked on the first season sires’ money-winning list.  

Soho Tribeca is ranked fourth on the table in respect of the number of individual winners and races won.

Among his winners have been Hell Im Smooth, the runner-up in the $129,000 Redcliffe Yearling Sales Series Final, the Melton and Menangle winner and dual Group 1 finalist Soho The Real Deal (1:56.5), Manhatten Chick (third in NSW Bred Final), Golden Tribe (1:55.3), the Vicbred finalist Alifetimeforliving and Doug’s Tribe (1:55.9).

With large crops of yearlings and foals still to represent him, Soho Tribeca looks certain to be ranked among the leading colonial bred stallions for the next few seasons at least.

“With the overwhelming response from breeders and trainers in the last couple of months, we can only expect that Soho Tribeca will be fully booked next season as he continues with his three-year-olds that will be sure to set the track alight,” Dr Kath McIntosh, principal of Llowalong Farms, said.

“Soho Tribeca is throwing strong, well mannered, intelligent foals just like himself, and as one trainer told me recently, they just want to win and you cannot teach a horse to try like the Soho Tribeca offspring do! 

“And that really reflects the racing career that Soho Tribeca had – he was just so tough and strong and gave everything on the track.”

Soho Tribeca was a top racehorse in his own right, winning 21 races and $1.1 million in stakes including the WA Pacing Cup, Kilmore Cup in race record time, WA Golden Nugget, Vicbred 4YO Final and two heats of the Inter Dominion.

He met and defeated the best horses of his era including Lazarus, Chicago Bull, Tiger Tara and Lennytheshark before injury brought a halt to his career.

Besides being a son of the champion sire American Ideal, Soho Tribeca can boast a wealth of breeding on his dam’s side. His first two dams, Pixel Perfect and Amarillen, were named Australian Broodmare of the Year in 2018 and 2017 respectively.

Pixel Perfect left seven winners – all inside 2:00 – six $100,000 plus earners and four Group/Listed winners, while Amarillen produced nine winners – seven in 2:00 – three $200,000 plus earners and three Group 1 victors.

Soho Tribeca’s belongs to one of the best families in the Australian stud book. It includes the Australian Pacing Gold winners Nostra Beach and Soho Nolita, the dual NSW Ladyship Mile winner Carla’s Pixel (1:49.5), Villagem (Chariots of Fire and Breeders Crown), the Oaks winners Miss Graceland and Tenirama and the Group 1 winner Terryrama.

In a mid-season breeding special, Soho Tribeca is packaged up with Raging Bull and Yankee Rockstar in the Llowalong Farms’ multiple mare discount. 

Breed two or more mares to any one of these three sires (or multiple mares to one of these sires) and the service fee will be at the massive discount of $1,000 plus GST for each of the stallions. 

And given Soho Tribeca’s progeny performance, you cannot expect to get this discount ever again! 

So, gather up your mares, get some mates together and give Llowalong Farms a call to discuss this incredible multiple mare discount.
