News - PRIZED ICON (AUS)

Gooree Park Stud will open the gates on Friday September 5 for a stallion parade featuring new arrival Yes Yes Yes along with resident Gooree Stud bred sires Prized Icon and Your Song – RSVP is due this Tuesday.

Prized Icon has returned to his birthplace of Gooree Stud to stand the coming season this spring and posted a two state metro double on Wednesday in Sydney and Melbourne.

Gooree Park Stud is proud to announce the return of homebred Group 1-winning stallion Prized Icon, who will stand in Mudgee for the 2025 breeding season.

A two time Group I winner last season at three, four year-old Prized Icon mare Tropical Squall stepped out for her second trial in her new preparation at Rosehill on Tuesday sporting the colours of her new owners Yulong.

With less than two months of the racing season to run our intriguing cohort of second season sires is a competitive one with four of them siring the winners of over $4million this season and five of them have sired Australian Group I winners, but will they be here for the long haul? We take a look at what we know so far as fact.

On Thursday, Kooringal Stud’s Prized Icon had two progressive first-crop 3-year-olds step up to the plate at Wyong.

Appearing for the first time since failing to stay in the VRC Oaks last November, the Prized Icon filly Tropical Squall was back to her brilliant best under a pumped-up Adam Hyeronimus in Saturday’s Group 1 Drinkwise Surround Stakes (1400m) at Randwick.

Stakes racing over the weekend so far has seen a reshuffle of the second season sires with Widden Stud’s Trapeze Artist now leading the way by earnings just ahead of Kooringal Stud’s Prized Icon.

Gooree Stud’s Prized Icon filly Tropical Squall continued her remarkable rise to the top when going coast to coat in Saturday’s Darley Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick.

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have high hopes for Prized Icon filly Tropical Squall, who carried the famed Gooree Stud colours to an impressive first up win at Randwick on Wednesday against older mares.

Join us at Kooringal for our Stallion Parade and Open Day on Sunday August 27, 2023 and test your mare ahead of time with a Hypothetical mating as all five sires are Premium stallions.

Bold-striding filly Tropical Squall led at every call in a 1250m Fillies Maiden at Canterbury on Wednesday to credit Kooringal Stud’s Prized Icon with his first winner.

Kooringal Stud is excited to announce that dual Group One winning stallion Prized Icon will join our roster in 2019.
