Extreme Yearlings in Demand at MM National Yearlings

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Jun 2

Four yearlings by Newgate Farm’s champion sire Extreme Choice were always billed as a standout for the MM National Yearling Sale this week and his filly from Volks Lightning sold for $580,000 on Monday and today the remaining three youngsters were all sold with the colt from Coco as in Chanel (USA) the highlight.

A full brother to smart Sydney metro winner Pimlico, who made $1.2million at Inglis Easter in 2024, this quality bay colt foaled on December 13 sold for $400,000 to Michael Freedman Racing/Darby Racing/Andrew Williams Bloodstock.

Michael Freedman is a fan of Extreme Choice having trained his Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside and last Saturday’s Group II BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes winner Berzelius, not to mention Tiger of Malay, who also won the BRC Sires and is now on the Newgate roster.

He also puts the polish on Extreme Choice’s Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Apocalyptic, so whether they are colts or fillies, Freedman certainly knows what makes them tick.
