Bowness Stud Celebrate $220,000 for Extreme Choice Filly

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday June 1

There are only two yearlings by Newgate Farm’s red hot sire Extreme Choice entered for the Magic Millions National Yearling Sale and the first of them sold on Tuesday with Bowness Stud enjoying a great result with their filly from She Brings Hope, a mare they purchased for just $2,500 at the 2018 Inglis Great Southern Sale.

Sent to Extreme Choice in her first season at stud, She Brings Hope produced this lovely chestnut filly that was purchased for $220,000 by Suman Hedge Bloodstock and Mick Price, who trained her sire to win Group I races at two and three.


Bowness Stud would be thrilled with the result as the star filly’s dam has a colt by Menari to follow and is now in foal to the stud’s glorious grey So You Think stallion D’Argento.

$220,000 Extreme Choice filly from She Brings Hope.

It wasn’t the first time this filly was paraded around the Gold Coast sale ring as she passed in at the January sale shy of her $50,000 reserve when presented to buyers for the first time by Bowness Stud.

A few months can be a long time in racing and since January, Extreme Choice has emerged as the best 2YO sire in the country leading both the overall 2YO Sire List and the first season sire list thanks to his small but stellar first crop of runners.

From 13 runners, he has produced five winners headed by Group I ATC Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, Group II winner Tiger of Malay and stakes-winner Xtremetime.

His well-documented fertility issues mean his progeny are in very short supply with his current crop of less than 30 yearlings proving increasingly popular as the sales season has progressed.

Extreme Time has one more offering at this sale, a colt from Wilde Irish Song to be offered by Kitchwin Hills as Lot 1630 on Wednesday morning.
