Lights of Paris, a rising four year old, was a $550,000 yearling. A magnificent type, he is by Australia's Champion Sire, REDOUTE'S CHOICE out of a US mare Flames of Paris by BLUSHING GROOM.
Redoute's Choice is also proving a top sire of sires, with his sons STRATUM, SNITZEL and NOT A SINGLE DOUBT leading the way.
Flames of Paris is a half sister to Top 2 YO Filly on the Irish Free Handicap and dual Gr.1 winner, PARK APPEAL. She is the dam of world class sire, CAPE CROSS, whose progeny include 2009 World Horse of the Year, SEA THE STARS.
As you can see by the pedigree below, there is international black type winners littered throughout this pedigree, including several highly successful sires.
Lights of Paris suffered an injury to the chest while in training and it was decided to retire him unraced (see attached vet report).
A rare opportunity to obtain a colt with such a high class stallion's pedigree without the usual price tag.
