Description

WORTHY CAUSE, a powerful son of champion sire CHOISIR (Gr.1 Royal Ascot Golden Jubilee Stakes and Gr.1 VRC Lightning Stakes) paved his way on the track as an impressive GROUP WINNER.

WORTHY CAUSE was a tough and tenacious racehorse. He saluted as a precocious 2YO, collected GROUP honours as a 3YO (by two lengths from multiple Group performer UPHAM) and continued to record black type success as a 4YO.

Hailing from an outstanding family of outstanding racehorses SHOGUN LODGE (Gr.1 AJC Epsom Handicap, Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Gr.1 George Main Stakes), REFERRAL (Gr.1 STC George Ryder Stakes) and SINGING THE BLU ES (Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate), WORTHY CAUSE flaunts a pedigree of top class sprinters and classic champions alike.

This is the versatility sought after in a pedigree when selecting a top sire prospect and WORTHY CAUSE is certainly that.

WORTHY CAUSE was a top level performer on the track and commenced stud duties in 2017.
