Kitchwin Hills – Headquarters for Hindquarters – Test Your Mare

Tara Madgwick - Friday August 25

It’s been a while since I made the trek to Kitchwin Hills but it was well worth the effort with Mick Malone and his team proud to present a couple of superbly turned out stallions that have much to recommend.

 

Group II winning speedster Graff put himself in the picture last year when his first crop of foals were eye-catching and this powerhouse son of Star Witness has let down into an impressive stallion with a true sprinters physique.

Mick Malone was quick to point out ‘he’s the headquarters for hindquarters’ and it’s not hard to see why.

Dubious is back at his birthplace Kitchwin Hills.

Dubious has settled in quickly to the farm that is the place of his birth with this brilliantly fast son of Not a Single Doubt carrying the KWH brand also made famous by the likes of Yes Yes Yes and Pierata.

Dubious stands at a fee of $15,400, click for more info and a Hypothetical mating.

Dubious will have his first runners this season and had yearlings sell for up to $500,000 this year with 11 selling for $100,000 or more.
