Dual Group 1 winning sprinter,
Extreme Choice posted his
first stakes performer at Caulfield on Saturday when his
two-year-old colt EXTREME WARRIOR finish runner-up to Fake Love in the
Listed MRC Debutant Stakes (1000m).
EXTREME CHOICE - Sire
Trained by
Mick Price and Mick Kent Jr,
Extreme Warrior was expected to run well following a recent good barrier trial and he ran-up to expectation when defeating all but the I Am Invincible filly Fake Love.
He found the line well from off the pace to finish second beaten a little over a length in a most promising debut.
A Magic Millions purchase for Mick Price Racing from the Glenlogan Park draft, Extreme Warrior is a half-brother to stakes-winner Thrillster and stakes-placed Free Thrills so becomes the third Black Type horse from the bush winning mare Heart of Thrills (by Show a Heart).
Heart of Thrills is a three-quarter-sister-in-blood to Group 3 winner Goota Have a Heart and Stakes-Winner Crossyourheart.
Extreme Choice is only the second son of Not a Single Doubt to go to stud, and he stands at a fee of $22,000 this spring.
“Winner of the Group 1 Blue Diamond in explosive fashion Extreme Choice was the equal-highest Timeform-rated winner of the Blue Diamond Stakes in the past 25 years with a rating of 124” – Gary Crispe – The Daily Telegraph, March 18, 2016
Extreme Choice was also the WFA winner of the Group 1 Moir as a 3yo defeating world champion sprinter Chautauqua
Jockey Craig Newitt stated -
“He’s the best 2YO I’ve ever ridden, and the Best 3YO too.”
It was no surprise to see
Extreme Choice progeny hit the ground running as he has also had a 2yo trial winner at
Randwick and at
Te Teko in NZ.
Extreme Choice had some fertility issues in his first season and as a result has just
48 two-year-olds to run for him, so to be off to a flying start with his progeny is a
great sign for the
exciting new sire.
DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS have a
beautiful 2yo filly by EXTREME CHOICE x ENCOSTA JEWEL (by Encosta de Lago) which we purchased at the
Magic Millions and she is in early training, having been through the system a couple of times as an early horse.
Our 2yo filly - Extreme Choice x Encosta Jewel
She heads into the stables of
RICHARD FREEDMAN in the coming weeks and we are
very confident our filly
will continue the great start of the sire.
