Tiger Roars in G3 Up and Coming

Tara Madgwick - Saturday August 14

Extreme Choice was the Champion Australian 2YO sire and Champion First Crop Sire last season and one of his star performers was talented colt Tiger of Malay, who resumed from a brief winter spell to win the Group III ATC Up and Coming Stakes (1300m) at Kembla on Saturday.

The Richard and Michael Freedman trained colt was burdened with a whopping 61kg, but under a cool well timed ride from James McDonald had enough left on the line to win by a nose.

Already a Group II winner as a juvenile and third in the Group I BRC JJ Atkins Stakes, Tiger of Malay has the overall record of three wins and two placings from eight starts with prizemoney topping $900,000.
 


“You see it year in year out that a lot of top two-year-olds don’t come back at three for various reasons,’’ Michael Freedman said.

“To see ‘Tiger’ chalk up a Group 3 at his first run back as a three-year-old with that big weight showed his quality and consolidates him as a stallion prospect for Henry Field and the Newgate crew.’’

James McDonald was well pleased with Tiger of Malay.

“He’s a very talented colt, he’s got good determination. He obviously had a good grounding in Brisbane and he’s furnished into a lovely animal now and I’m sure wherever Michael places him he’ll be very competitive,” he said.

The brilliant colt is being aimed at the Group 1 $1m Golden Rose (1400m) at Rosehill on September 25, but his path to that race is yet to be decided.

A $255,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Tyreel stud draft for China Horse Club / Newgate Bloodstock, Tiger of Malay was bred by WA breeder Bridie O’Bree and is a half-brother to Group III winners Samizdat and Samovare being the best of six winners from six to race from Sambar.


Samizdat was also a stakes-winner again on Saturday taking out the Listed WATC Belmont Newmarket Handicap in Perth.


A More Than Ready (USA) mare from the family of Golden Slipper winners Dark Eclipse and Kiamichi, Sambar has not had a live foal since Tiger of Malay, but is now in foal to Lonhro.

Tiger of Malay is one of three stakes-winners from a first crop of 48 foals for Extreme Choice joining Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside and Xtremetime.

The fertility troubled sire has made a huge impact and his fee at Newgate this spring is by application.
