Another Impressive Shadwell Winner by Redoute’s

Tara Madgwick - Friday June 9

Running out an easy winner at Vaal in South Africa on Thursday was blue-blooded Redoute's Choice colt Hakeem, a three-quarter brother-in-blood to not one, but two Group I winners.

Hakeem as a yearling

Second on debut last month, the Mike de Kock trained three year-old was sent out favourite for the 1400 metre maiden and bolted in to score by five and a quarter lengths.

A $500,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Milburn Creek draft for Shadwell, Hakeem was bred by Makybe and is the first winner for Life in a Metro, a winning three-quarter sister to Redoute's Choice's two Oaks winning daughters Absolutely and Abbey Marie.

Life in a Metro has a weanling filly by Deep Field and was covered last spring by Golden Slipper winner Vancouver.
