Extreme Choice - New Winner

We're talking 2YO's and trying to make sense of the Golden Slipper picture with a couple of new contenders emerging last Saturday, are they bred to do the job?

By outstanding sire Extreme Choice from Shane Nichols former stable favourite and Group I VRC Myer Classic winner I Am a Star, exciting filly Esha has the ability to match her pedigree.

Well Written may carry the colours of thoroughbred industry giant Yulong Investments, but she has an army of other part-owners who will be cheering her home in Saturday’s $4 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) at Ellerslie.

Bennett Racing have had a hot run of success with the likes of Baraqiel, Snitzanova, Magnaspin, Zou Sensation, Warnie and Tornado Valley and they signed for a lovely Ole Kirk filly at Inglis Premier on Monday for $430,000.

Time is on the wing as we head towards the $5million Group I ATC Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill on March 21 with two new contenders emerged from the pack to secure their place after winning key lead up races last Saturday while previously unbeaten colts Warwoven and Fireball were underwhelming.

Two blueblood juvenile fillies by champion sires from Group I winning mares made the two year-old event at Morphettville on Saturday a watch race and they duly ran the quinella.

Gilgai Farm blazed through the second and final session of Inglis Premier Book 1 producing four of the top six yearlings sold on Monday and they included fillies by Kermadec and Written By that provided benchmark sales for their respective sires.

Three heats for juveniles at Warwick Farm on Monday were won by youngsters including the most expensive Snitzel yearling ever sold.

The loss of Ghibellines was further emphasised at Wingatui where the late resident of White Robe Lodge was the dominant force.
