News - EXTREME CHOICE (AUS)

Earlier this year, Australian owner breeder Matthew Sandblom sent two Australian bred 2YO fillies by Extreme Choice to be trained in France by Francis Henri Graffard and the first to race Primetime Emmy is now a Group winner, while the second made a winning debut at Chantilly overnight.

The curtain is coming down on an amazingly successful season for Sydney based syndicators Darby Racing and their owners, who have enjoyed G1 success thanks to Caballus and the thrill of Royal Ascot with Overpass and the Darby colours today racked up a winning treble at Kembla.

There was only one set of metropolitan trials in Sydney this week so there were plenty of late season juveniles in action on Friday at Rosehill with heat winners including unraced youngsters by I Am Invincible, Extreme Choice and that flashy grey D’Argento filly that is now two for two at the trials.

Bought with the hopes of being a stallion prospect, gelding might be the making of talented Extreme Choice three year-old Pimlico, who was an impressive winner at Randwick on Monday.

Following a 50-week break, the Extreme Choice gelding Vermentino took up where he left off, making it a perfect two-for-two with an arrogant display in the Ladbrokes Same Race Multi-Bm64 (1200m) at Sandown-Lakeside on Wednesday.
