Redoute's Choice closing in on milestone

Friday 22 February 2013, 3:52pm

Remarkable stallion Redoute's Choice is on the brink of a milestone.

Filly Global Balance gave the Arrowfield Stud stallion his 99th stakes winner with her success in the Listed Tasmanian Oaks under lights on Wednesday.

And while the champion sire has chances with stakes runners in four states on Saturday, Warwick Farm could be the racing venue which provides the stallion's best hope of reaching the milestone.

The Chris Waller-trained She's Clean will be Redoute's Choice's sole black-type hope at the Sydney meeting when she lines up in the Triscay Stakes (1200m).

But she appeals as one of the better chances in the Listed race on the strength of two wins from her past four starts.

She's Clean will be ridden by Jim Cassidy, the veteran jockey who rode Redoute's Choice to Group One success in the Manikato Stakes and the Caulfield Guineas.

David Hayes will saddle up one of Redoute Choice's two stakes runners in Melbourne, Rose Pattern in the Group Three Mannerism Stakes (1400m).

The top Victorian trainer has enjoyed great success with the stallion's progeny which have included his 2006 Golden Slipper winner Miss Finland and the stablemate who beat her in that year's Blue Diamond, Nadeem.

The Pat Hyland-trained Bonaria, a daughter of Redoute's Choice, will also line up in the Mannerism.

War Ends represents the sire's chances in Brisbane where he will contest the Listed Falvelon Quality (1200m) while in Perth, Antique Belle flys the flag in the Listed Challenge Stakes (1500m).

Redoute's Choice has twice been champion Australian sire in 2006 and 2010 and of his 99 stakes winner, 21 have been at Group One level.

He has shuttled to France this year to stand his first northern hemisphere season at stud at the Aga Khan's Haras de Bonneval stud.
