Here’s some breaking news that can now be released, courtesy of his new owner: Kentucky stallion Soto (Dehere — Subtle Fragrance, by Crafty Prospector), the sire of two black-type winners from his first crop of 2-year-olds last season, has been sold and will stand at stud in Saudi Arabia.

The Walmac-based stallion was purchased by Nofa Equestrian Resort for the account of owner Prince Sultan Al Kabeer, the leading owner in Saudi Arabia.

Soto won 5 of 6 starts and earned $666,164 in two seasons. At 2 the colt won the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes and at 3 he took the Grade 3 West Virginia Derby, a $600,000 race.

The stallion’s son Suni won a listed event in Japan, and his daughter Glamorous Gal earned black type in the Tippett Stakes at Colonial Downs.
