Respected bloodstock agent Dean Hawthorne has been buying up a storm at Inglis Easter and added a $1.6million Extreme Choice filly to his list of acquisitions on Monday.
Bred by SF Bloodstock and consigned by Newgate, the half-sister to Group I placed Mayfair is from imported stakes-winner Cicatrix (USA).
She will carry the colours of Jonathan Munz’s Pinecliff Racing with a trainer yet to be decided.
“She was probably our pick of the Extreme Choice fillies. He's a great sire, but they don't come along in numbers, so when the good ones come along, you've got to take a chance and grab them,” said Dean Hawthorne.
“She was lovely and she's from an imported family that's already produced a fast horse (Mayfair) in Australia, so we loved her and this stallion is just at another level.”
Cicatrix has had no luck in her past two seasons having slipped and then missed to Extreme Choice.
