Overview

Super Seth

New Zealand Champion First Season Sire
First Caulfield Guineas winner to stand in NZ in 30 years

Service Fee $45,000 +GST

Crowned New Zealand Champion First Season Sire for the 2023/24 season. Brilliant talent, exceptional turn of foot, good looks and a quality pedigree – these are the attributes that underpin the making of a successful stallion and Waikato Stud have just that in Super Seth.

His imposing career on the racetrack was headlined by a dazzling victory in the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas, with the son of Dundeel striking a chord early when winning his first two juvenile starts, including a six-length victory on debut. He returned as 3-year-old to win the Gr.3 McNeil Stakes before defeating boom Queenslander Alligator Blood in the Caulfield Guineas. Resuming after a spell, he then added the Gr.3 Manfred Stakes to his winning record before finishing runner-up against the older horses in the Gr.1 Futurity Stakes.

Super Seth is from the first crop of outstanding young sire Dundeel, whose start to stud has seen
him produce eight Group 1 winners to date; a record only bettered by Champions Danehill and his damsire Redoute’s Choice. He is a son of Salutations, who is a daughter of the Gr.2 Yallambee Classic winner Toast Of The Coast, making him a half-brother to multiple stakes winner Wild Planet. The next dams Solo Show and Solo Performance are also Group winners, highlighting that his pedigree matches the credentials he displayed on the racetrack.

Super Seth was sold by co-breeder Arrowfield Stud through its 2018 draft at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale with Dean Hawthorne signing the ticket on behalf of Jonathan Munz’s GSA Bloodstock. Hawthorne commented, “He is perfectly balanced – if you take a look at his yearling conformation photo you can see he is a short-coupled colt with a great head and amazing quality.”

Top of our list when it comes to sourcing a successful stallion is a turn of foot and Super Seth’s acceleration was mind-blowing. Our past and present Champion Sires Centaine, O’Reilly, Pins, Savabeel and Ocean Park all possessed incredible acceleration, but even they couldn’t have matched Super Seth’s turn of foot. That’s the quality we look for in a successful stallion and he demonstrated that on many occasions.

Super Seth attracted a high-quality, full book of 130 mares for his 2020 debut season, with more than half being black-type performers or producers of such. This trend continued for his second season, as breeders were delighted with the quality of his foals.

Strong interest in Super Seth’s progeny continued with his second crop of yearlings throughout the 2024 yearling sales. Beginning at Magic Millions in January, his five youngsters sold for an average of over A$250,000, headed by the Waikato Stud-bred son of Pink Graffiti, selling for A$470,000 to Anthony and Sam Freedman.

His highest-priced yearling to date came at NZB’s National Yearling Sale when Pencarrow Stud’s colt out of Irion was secured for $700,000 by Patella Bloodstock.

Super Seth was quick off the mark, registering an early first winner when 2-year-old Poetic Champion (ex Regally Blonde) demolished the field by six lengths on debut in early October for Tony Pike at Hawera. Poetic Champion posted three stakes placings in his juvenile campaign.

His first stakes winner came with the exciting colt Linebacker’s determined victory in the Gr.3 Baillieu Stakes at Rosehill, which he followed up with an honest second-place finish in the Gr.1 Champagne Stakes at Randwick a month later. Super Seth’s second stakes winner was the unbeaten colt Super Photon, who claimed the Listed 2YO Stakes in style for Stephen Marsh at Te Rapa Racing. Feroce is another notable performer for Super Seth having run a half-head into second in the 2024 Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas.

Super Seth’s 2024 service fee is $45,000 +GST (live foal guarantee)
