Redoute’s Choice and Snitzel are now only days away from completing an unprecedented quinella in the
2014 Australian General Sires’ Premiership.
REDOUTE'S CHOICE SNITZEL
Arrowfield Stud, where both stallions stand have advised that it is the first time since the inaugural publication
140 years ago of the
Australian General Sires' table for the
1883/84 season, that a father and son have finished first and second.
DANEHILL
Redoute’s Choice, arguably the greatest son of
Danehill at stud, will end the season with Australian earnings of more than
$10.2 million and at least
96 winners headed by
10 stakes winners, five of them from his superlative 2009 crop.
LANKAN RUPEE
That group includes
three-time Group 1 winner Lankan Rupee, Australia’s top-rated horse of the season and the world’s best sprinter in 2014 with a figure of 123 on the
LONGINES World’s Best Racehorse Rankings.
Lankan Rupee’s Timeform rating of 132 is also the best figure awarded to an Australian performer this season and ranks him above past champions
Lonhro, Makybe Diva, Northerly, Strawberry Road, Sunline & Weekend Hussler.
Redoute’s Choice is the only active Australian sire to win more than two Premierships and he is the only son of
Danehill to head the table more than once, surpassing the single title victories of
Flying Spur (2007), Fastnet Rock (2012) and Exceed and Excel (2013).
The three Premierships won by
Redoute’s Choice in nine years measure a rare period of dominance exceeded in the past century only by
Better Boy (four titles between 1966 and 1977) and his own sire
Danehill (nine titles between 1995 and 2005).
Redoute’s Choice is also having a major impact as a broodmare sire.
He will finish the Australian season with
$9.8 million prizemoney, 12 stakes winners (most notably Sacred Falls & Zoustar), and third position on that table, behind Zabeel and Danehill.
Dynamic Syndications purchased
2 yearlings by REDOUTE’S CHOICE in 2014.
DINKY DI DORA
The first was a filly from the
Gr1 Winning Chilean mare DIANA CAZADORA. She is being trained by
PETER & PAUL SNOWDEN. Syndicated earlier this year, she sold out very quickly. She has been registered with the racing name -
DINKY DI DORA.
OUR COLT - REDOUTE'S CHOICE x ZAPURPLE
Our second
REDOUTE’S CHOICE yearling was a magnificent colt from the
Gr3 winning ZAPURPLE a mare by
ZABEEL. Purchased specifically to be aimed at Classics like Guineas, Derbies and Cups, this colt will be the final offer we put to the market in 2014. At this stage a trainer has not been allocated for the colt.
CRUMBED
Dynamic Syndications also purchased a filly by
SNITZEL out of the broodmare
SANTA AURELIA. She is a strong and precocious type and forward enough to be aimed at early 2yo racing. Already in full work at Randwick in the stables of
PETER and PAUL SNOWDEN, she has been registered with the racing name -
CRUMBED.
