Personality
Song is a sweet colt who is ready to run at all times. He is very energetic and is almost never found asleep (so it seems). He loves to trot around the paddocks, enjoying the sunshine and wind whipping through his mane. Song loves his music. He especially loves jazz music so we usually keep music playing in the barns. The music comforts him and keeps him calm.
Song runs best coming in from behind. Even though he was a new four year old he tries his hardest and has a lot of potential that is just waiting to be unleashed. Song loves to run on dirt tracks. He absolutely hates turf tracks; it bothers his legs too much. We have been training steady with Song, slowly and carefully to not stress his leg. Song usually can hold a pace without fighting his rider throughout the whole race but will try to move up on his own before the last turn for the wire. He loves changing leads into the backstretch and sticking his nose out as far as he can.
History and Pedigree Information
Song was the first horse ever to be born at Kirsten’s stables. When she was first starting off she bought his dam at an auction already pregnant to the amazing Seattle Slew. She paid top dollar for the pair hoping to have the foal be a great success to her stables. Song has been very slow to mature and was not raced at the age of two. We thought he was just not ready. He started some intense training and was getting closer to be ready for some serious racing when tragedy occurred. A few days before his maiden race as a three year old he bowed a tendon in his left fore and was put out to pasture for recovery. We found that it would be a shame to put such a good looking stallion out to stud without making his mark on the track first so we nursed his leg to health. He is now sound and ready to start his racing career.
Now retired he was recently sold from Akita Rose Stable and we are happy to bring the big boy over here. He is in fact, a half sibling to HOF mare Sweet Stalker and Secret Miracle

Breeding Records
Stud Commentary: Song is an amazing stallion. He is genuinely sweet in nature and has a power house racing style to boot. Song got a late start in his racing career, but in that short time he really did leave a mark, placing 2nd in the Breeder's Cup Mile. He truly is a stallion of class. We like to think of him as our "classy boy". His bloodlines are solid as well. Sired by leading RL sire Seattle Slew and out of SIM bred Sweet Melody, this graceful and eye appealing stallion is a half sibling to HOF mare, Sweet Stalker. He will be a solid producer and give your foals that strong desire to win with a solid future.
Perfect Matches: Seattle Song would best be paired with slight to medium build horses and will go with any temperament mare, his lively energy will go well with whomever.
His Foal's Achievements:
[X] Mystical Melody is a G1 bay mare out of the now deceased mare, On to Dancing. She has done well for herself. She's energetic and uses it to race her heart out. To her name right now she has won the Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare and Sprint in Y10 and placed 2nd again in the Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare Sprint in Y11. She has also in Y11 placed 2nd in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes and 3rd in the Preakness...and so much more. Mystical Melody is making a name for herself and doing it with style.
[X] Coco Cabana is his only other foal and will now be entering in the prospect shows this coming Y12. He is out of the G1 mare Fleet Goddess and looks to be a very promising credit to his sire's name.
