Extreme Choice Fillies to Watch in France

Tara Madgwick - Saturday Apr 11

We had Henry Field as our guest this week on Tara Talks Racing and a part of the conversation regarded Extreme Choice who breeds to a mare a day all year round, which means foals arriving in Australia bred to Northern Hemisphere time and two of those fillies have gone into training in France and one of them is closely related to Australian Oaks contender Profoundly.

Matthew Sandblom of Kingstar Farm has always been a shareholder in Extreme Choice from day dot and has bred his G1 winning colts Stay Inside and Devil Night, plus Group winning filly Wollombi.

He posted on Twitter the safe arrival in France of his two Australian bred two year old fillies by Extreme Choice that have gone into work with Francis -Henri Graffard at Chantilly.

Extreme Dream is a full sister to metro winner Emirate and is the third foal of Sweet Bouquet, a winning half-sister to Group winners Santos, Melagrana and to the dam of Profoundly, who won the Group III ATC Adrian Knox Stakes and contests the Group I ATC Australian Oaks later today. Profoundly is also sired by a son of Not a Single Doubt in Farnan.

Primetime Emmy is a half-sister to two juveniles stakes-winners in Thurlow and Three Kings and is from super reliable stakes-winning producer Princess Emmy, who has had nine foals to race for eight winners.
