The
team at Clear Mountain Fairview in Queensland are delighted to report promising Choisir
stallion Worthy Cause is getting his mares in foal with his early coverings testing
positive at 45 days including the dam of a stakes-winner.
The dam of Group III winner Col 'n' Lil, Street Cry (IRE) mare Jyler is one of
those mares to test positive.
A Magic Millions graduate prepared by Queensland's top juvenile trainer John
Zielke, Worthy Cause was a tough and tenacious racehorse and showcased his
outstanding ability from the time he won on debut.
He won as a two-year-old, collected Group honours as a three-year-old and
continued to record black type success as a four-year-old at Flemington.
His biggest win came in the Group III GCTC Gunsynd Classic (1800m) by two
lengths from multiple Group performer Upham.
A half-brother to Group placed Octane Flyer, Worthy Cause comes from the family
of top class Group I winning sprinter / milers Referral and Singing the Blues
and champion galloper Shogun Lodge who won the Group I AJC Epsom Handicap,
Queen Elizabeth Stakes and George Main Stakes earning over $4.6 million in
prizemoney.
Worthy Cause will seek to add further success to Choisir's growing reputation
as a sire of sires, his sons at stud including the Group I producing
Starspangledbanner as well as Group I winning sons such as Olympic Glory (IRE),
The Last Lion (IRE) and Divine Prophet.
Worthy Cause stands at a fee of $5,500.
