Five for Extreme Choice Extreme Flight connections vindicated for refusing offers from Hong Kong
From ANZ BLOODSTOCK: From just 48 first crop foals and 22 runners, Newgate Stud-based sire Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt) sired his fifth stakes winner after Extreme Flight (3 c ex Abscond by Galileo) took his record to three wins from five starts with a success in the Gothic Stakes (Listed, 1400m) at Caulfield yesterday. T he Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained colt defeated Prince Alexander (Animal Kingdom) by a neck, the pair drawing clear of Sandy Prince (Pride Of Dubai) who finished six lengths further back in third. Extreme Flight is the fourth foal and third stakes winner out of the unraced Abscond (Galileo), with the three-year-old a half-brother to 2019 Tattersall’s Tiara (Gr 1, 1400m) winner Invincibella (I Am Invincible) and Group 3 winner Secret Blaze (Sizzling). Extreme Flight was a $340,000 buy for Anthony Cummings from the Sledmere draft at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale last year. Extreme Choice is standing for a private fee.
