Audio Description

Description

Superior Choice is an out and out, exceptionally bred mare by Champion of Champion Stallions, Redoute's Choice.

According to the eNicks, Superior Choice has an impeccable A+++ rating, as she is bred on the best cross in the stud book being Redoute's Choice over Zabeel....the best you can get!

Her pedigree is littered with black type where she is also closely related to 14 individual Group 1 performers. Notable black type performers include her Dam BHANDARA (Duel Grp 3 winner), her 2nd Dam VEDODARA (2nd in Grp 1), LINTON (Grp 1 Winner).

Superior Choice was trained by Gai Waterhouse and showed a lot ability on track and only sustained an injury that stopped her bright future on the track.

She's a young mare being only a 4YO with the possibilities of going to the stallion of your choice for her maiden breeding year and an early cover this season.
