Above is a snapshot of the report sorted by the most successful nicks in terms of producing SW’s and one that catches the eye in a big way is those yearlings by Maurice (Jpn) from daughters of Redoute’s Choice.

Maurice (Jpn)  is a shuttle sire with more to offer in Australia.

Maurice shuttles from Japan to Arrowfield and did well from his first three modest sized crops before missing a year and returning in 2021.

The stats so far on his nick with Redoute’s Choice mares reveal 20 winners from 25 starters with five SW’s and two more stakes-placed horses with triple Group I winner Hitotsu the star. That’s 80% winner to runner 20% SW to runner, so it’s a stat well worth noting.

Since his return to Australia in 2021, Maurice has covered books of 156, 165, 149 and 137 mares last spring, so expect to see a lot more runners and winners by Maurice going forward.
