Winning Debut for Redoute’s Choice Blueblood

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday September 27
The first Northern Hemisphere bred progeny by champion Australian sire Redoute's Choice are two year-olds and there are none better bred than Goldikova's half-sister Gold Luck, who made a winning debut at Maisons-Laffitte in France overnight.

Redoute's ChoiceA half-sister to a legend, Gold Luck runs for the same connections being trained by Freddy Head for owner/breeders the Wertheimer brothers.

She scored a head win in the mile maiden with two and a half lengths back to the third horse.

"I'm very happy with her," Freddy Head told Racing Post. "She wasn't fully tuned-up today and I think she can make plenty of progress from this.

"Next year will be for her and we'll leave her through the winter now in the hope she turns into a good filly. She handled herself very well and it looked a nice race. The runner-up pushed her hard at the end and overall they looked a nice bunch.

"She's going well and has done everything we've asked of her so far. She's won her maiden and we will go gently with a view to next year."

Gold Luck is a sibling to five Group winners headed by 2010 Horse of the Year Goldikova, a winner of 17 races, 14 of them Group I including a memorable trio of Breeders Cup Mile victories.

She is the 13th winner for exceptional producer Born Gold.

The sire of 136 stakes-winners with progeny earnings in excess of $128 million, Redoute's Choice shuttled to France for two seasons in 2013 and 2014 covering 104 mares and then 91 mares.

Now 20 years of age, he stands at Arrowfield this spring at a fee of $110,000.
