G1 Pedigrees See Them All in One Place

Tara Madgwick - Sunday April 17

Three Group I races in Australia and New Zealand on Saturday with one new winner at the elite level and she’s by a sire running at 18.4% SW to runner!

Extreme Choice might be fertility challenged, but in terms of ability to produce stakes horses he’s doing some amazing things and his prowess was highlighted when his 2YO filly She’s Extreme won the Group I ATC champagne Stakes (1600m), read about her here.


She’s Extreme is the second Group I winner for her sire Extreme Choice and is the first stakes-winner and Group I winner for So Secret as a broodmare sire.

Like Extreme Choice’s Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, she has a 4 x 4 double cross of Danehill and has some quality stamina in her pedigree with her grand-dam Interlagos by Epsom Derby winner Quest for Fame (GB), who did a great job at stud here in Australia for the old Ingham owned Woodlands Stud.

Interlagos was Woodlands bred and Darley still have quite a bit of that family, notably through Group III winning Exceed and Excel filly Jorda, who is getting every opportunity at stud.

The Group I ATC All Aged Stakes (1400m) went to last year’s Doncaster Handicap winner Cascadian (GB), read about him here.


From a quality European family with his first three dams all stakes-winners, Cascadian is one of two Group I winners from Falls of Lora, whose other star performer is 3YO Dubawi colt Albahr, who won a G1 at Woodbine last year for Godolphin.

He is one of nine G1 winners for Galileo’s champion son New Approach and is one of 18 GI winners for Street Cry as a broodmare sire, his daughters producing three in Australia this season with Cascadian joining September Run and Daumier.

New Approach and Street Cry combine in the pedigrees of 29 winners from 34 runners with four stakes-winners, so 11.7% SW to runner.

The Group I Fiber Fresh New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) was won in dazzling fashion by Imperatriz who may well follow in the footsteps of other Te Akau owned champion mares Melody Belle and Avantage, click to read about her here.



She is one of 12 G1 winners for champion sire I Am Invincible and is the eighth for Shamardal as a broodmare sale with three of those coming in Australia with Imperatriz joining Converge and Private Eye. Her second dam is by Encosta de Lago and mares carrying his blood have a great record with I Am Invincible producing 10 stakes-winners.
