Tara Madgwick - Thursday January 9

An outstanding stallion that only has limited numbers Extreme Choice has his usual small selection for this sale and his top seller so far has been a rare grey colt from stakes-placed import Mrs Ramona G (USA) that sold for $925,000 on Thursday.

The Newgate Farm consigned colt has appealed from day one and it was not a hard decision for Newgate to keep an interest in him when he weas knocked down to China Horse Club/Newgate Bloodstock & Partners.

Michael Smith of China Horse Club was full of praise for the colt and hopes he can deliver similar success to some of the other high profile stallions that have emerged from their partnership with Newgate and others.

“We know how good Extreme Choice is and we thought this was an excellent physical by the stallion out of a fast American mare,” Smith said.

“I think they’re (US mares) usually very tough, quick horses, great constitutions, and it just works.

“This colt was a really lovely moving, athletic horse with plenty of strength. Probably more strength than is typical for an Extreme Choice.

“Horses like Russian Revolutions, Wild Ruler, In The Congo, Captivant, Artorius, Stay Inside, we’ve raced a lot of good colts in partnerships and hopefully this can be the next one.”

The colt is the third foal of Mrs Ramona G, who was purchased by Newgate for just $US50,000 from the 2019 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.

She produced another colt by Extreme Choice last year.
