The King of Sires – REDOUTE’S CHOICE produced another
stakes quinella on Saturday in the
Group 3 WA Oaks (2400m) as Very Tempting defeated her better-fancied stablemate
Royal Star at Ascot.
REDOUTE'S CHOICE
Jockey Chris Parnham made first run on Very Tempting to take over coming around the home turn.
She was followed through by Willie Pike on odds-on favourite Royal Star and the two cleared out for a dramatic finish with Very Tempting bravely holding on to win by a head with Just Like Fire four lengths back in third.
"Chris seized the initiative. I thought he may have gone early, but it worked out well." winning owner Bob Peters said.
In earning her first stakes win,
Very Tempting advanced her record to 3 wins, 1 second and 2 thirds from 9 starts with earnings of $191,050.
The Grant and Alana Williams-trained Very Tempting was sold by Vinery Stud at the 2015 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling sale where she was knocked down for $420,000.
She is the
first foal of the Sydney winning More Than Ready (USA) mare Fit And Ready a half-sister to Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes winner Catbird and the Group 2 Pago Pago Stakes winner Danbird.
Fit And Ready is closely related to Listed Bernborough Handicap winner Centre Pivot who is by More Than Ready out of Zabeel mare Waterwise who is a daughter of Fit And Ready's half-sister Sprinkler.
Fit And Ready's All Too Hard colt made $460,000 to the bid of Hawkes Racing at this year's Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling sale.
After slipping to Redoute's Choice in 2015, Fit And Ready was covered by All Too Hard last spring.
Very Tempting becomes the 143rd stakes winner for Arrowfield Stud's Redoute's Choice who has 33 yearlings heading to the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling sale beginning Tuesday.
