Redoute's Choice Colt Prepared for Australian Debut

Media Release - Tuesday January 16
Mick Price is giving serious thought to running the unbeaten Redoute's Choice colt Ardrossan in next month's Group I Oakleigh Plate (1100m) at Caulfield.

Ardrossan - Trish DunnellHe aired his thoughts after the talented colt had performed well in a jump-out at Sandown on Tuesday.

"I really like the horse. He beat Super Cash (in the jump-out), who has won Group Twos and Threes here," Price said.

"I think my three-year-old is a 71-rater, so you probably take the soft option with the Manfred on February 3 for three-year-olds, but he's supposed to become a Group One colt.

"I'm not sure if a 71-rated three-year-old gets a run in the Oakleigh Plate, but we'll have to work it out."

Ardrossan won both of his starts for Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh, including the Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes (1100m) at Te Rapa before relocating across the Tasman.

Ardrossan was bought by Bruce Perry Bloodstock for $150,000 from the Arrowfield draft at Inglis Premier and runs for a syndicate of New Zealand breeders.

He is a three-quarter brother to stakes-winner Cheyenne Warrior and is the fifth winner from stakes-placed Iglesia mare Miss Argyle.

His ownership syndicate includes New Zealand farms Waikato Stud and Jamieson Park as well as Lib Petagna and John and Mark Carter and their sister Rachael. - NZ Racing Desk
