Yearlings by exciting young sire Extreme Choice were hot property at Magic Millions last month and vendors offering his youngsters at Inglis Classic are sure to be kept busy this week with inspections and the first of them to be offered through the ring on Sunday comes from Valiant Stud.

Offered on behalf of Dr Richard McClenahan of Mullaglass Stud, Lot 86 is a strapping chestnut Extreme Choice colt from Miss Spirituality.

A half-brother to a winner, he is from an unraced half-sister by Starcraft to Group III placed juvenile winner Slumber Party.

The colt has an intriguing pedigree as his third dam Group II placed Hanky Panky is a half-sister to Extreme Choice’s sire Not a Single Doubt, so he is line bred 3 x 4 to Easy Date’s influential daughter Singles Bar.

Mullaglass Stud have a great record at Inglis Classic having bred and sold Group I winner Hellbent at this sale and they also bred the top lot at last year’s sale, a Capitalist colt from Theatric that sold for $625,000.

Valiant Stud will offer another Capitalist colt for Mullaglass Stud this year with Lot 527, a colt from Group III placed Elfee (NZ) sure to have plenty of admirers.
