Charles Fipke's Grade I-winning multimillionaire Seeking the Soul (Perfect Soul {Ire}) has arrived at Ocala Stud to take up stud duties in 2021, Fipke Stable announced on Twitter.
“I am really pleased that Ocala Stud will stand Seeking the Soul,” Fipke said. “They are one of the most important stud farms in Florida, with a great and long history of success, and I look forward to Seeking the Soul joining their roster and program. Years ago, I sent my first mare to board at Ocala Stud while breeding her to Kris S. in Florida, so I am well aware of their history and record of success. I will send my champion Forever Unbridled to Seeking the Soul–that's how much I believe in the horse. He's a Grade I winner from the family of Personal Ensign.”
A three-time graded stakes winner, Seeking the Soul's crowning achievement came when capturing the GI Clark H. in 2017. Trained by Dallas Stewart, he added the GII Stephen Foster S. over the same Churchill track the following spring and retired with $3,470,153 in earnings over 32 starts. A stud fee will be announced at a later date.
