Cangon Stud Secures Dubleo
Dubleo has been relocated from Vinery Stud, to Cangon Stud, at Dungog, this season, a move that will prolong the stallion’s career as a prolific sire of winners.
A son of More Than Ready’s sire Southern Halo, Dubleo was imported to Australia after a successful race career in the U S, where he won 6 races as a juvenile.
A proved turf performer, his career highlights included the Group2 Summer Stakes at Woodbine, and the Group3 Generous Stakes at Hollywood Park, both races are run over 1600 metres on the turf surface.
He retired to stud in 2005; Dubleo soon produced a horse of Stakes quality when his first crop daughter, Dubleanny, won three Stakes races for Vinery and trainer Mick Price.
This success was soon followed by another daughter in Koonoomoo, who won the Group 3 VRC Herald Sun Stakes, at Flemington, on Melbourne Cup day 2012.
At Moonee Valley, on Cox Plate day, the following precocious two year old, Silversands, was another Dubleo filly to notch a feature race, winning on a big stage when taking the rich Inglis Banner over 1000 metres.
With winners of over $8 million in prize money, Dubleo continues to produce winners frequently; in recent weeks he has sired the Moonee Valley winner, Radical, and Rosehill winner, Two Blue, who has since finished a close up second in two listed races in Sydney.
“We are happy to get a horse of Dubleo quality. He fits into our roster very well, he is the perfect horse for those that wish to breed or race. The option, given his ability, is to get a Stakes horse that will produce winners at a regular rate,” said Jock Mackay of Cangon Stud.
Dubleo will stand his season at a service fee of $ 4,400, inc GST.
