$775,000 New Classic Sale Record and Benchmark for His Sire

Tara Madgwick - Sunday February 6


Extreme Choice has been a hot commodity at the sales this year and he put the spark into the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale on Sunday when his colt from Murtle Turtle sold for $775,000 to James Harron Bloodstock.

$775,000 Extreme Choice colt from Murtle Turtle.

Offered by Bell River Thoroughbreds, who also bred and sold his sire Extreme Choice, the colt is a half-brother to this season’s smart two year-old winner California Deeply and is the fifth foal from Group III placed Murtle Turtle.
 


The colt was a super successful pinhook having been bought by Bevan Smith Bloodstock/Ferguson Bloodstock from the Kenmore Lodge draft at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale for $220,000.

The Extreme Choice colt from Murtle Turtle as a weanling.

He is now the most expensive yearling by Extreme Choice sold at auction and is one of seven yearlings at this sale by the fertility hampered son of Not a Single Doubt, who stands at Newgate Farm.
