Graded stakes winner Noble Tune has been retired and will begin his stud career with the upcoming Southern Hemisphere season at Rathmor Stud in South Africa. He will stand for a fee of 25,000 Rand, or about $2,365 in U.S. funds. The 4-year-old son of Unbridled’s Song, who was trained by Chad Brown for Martin Schwartz and breeder Dell Ridge Farm, won four of seven starts for earnings of $492,222. He captured the Grade 3 Pilgrim Stakes on the Belmont Park turf as a juvenile, and added the Grade 2 American Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs last May. He was also runner-up to George Vancouver in the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf. Out of the stakes-winning Storm Cat mare Serena’s Cat, Noble Tune is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Honor Code. Second dam Serena’s Tune is also a stakes winner and producer; out of champion Serena’s Song, she is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Sophisticat, Grade 2 winners Grand Reward and Harlington, Grade 3 winner Schramsberg, and stakes-placed Arbitrate.
