$580,000 for Extreme Filly at MM National Yearlings

Tara Madgwick - Monday Jun 1

Fresh from siring progressive colt Berzelius to win the $1million Group II BRC Sires Produce Stakes at Eagle Farm on Saturday, Newgate Farm’s Extreme Choice was always going to make his presence felt at the Magic Millions National Yearling Sale this week with the first of his four entries for this sale selling for $580,000.

$580,000 Extreme Choice filly from Volks Lightning.

Consigned by Newgate, the filly was born on December 18 and is the third foal of Group III winner Volks Lightning (NZ).

She was snapped up by Michael Freedman Racing/Andrew Williams Bloodstock, so will go into the same stable that has already produced Extreme Choice’s Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside and last Saturday’s exciting colt Berzelius.

Extreme Choice has three more yearlings to be offered by Newgate on Tuesday as follows:
