The stats so far on his nick with Redoute’s Choice mares reveal 20 winners from 25 starters with five SW’s and two more stakes-placed horses with triple Group I winner Hitotsu the star. That’s 80% winner to runner 20% SW to runner, so it’s a stat well worth noting.

Since his return to Australia in 2021, Maurice has covered books of 156, 165, 149 and 137 mares last spring, so expect to see a lot more runners and winners by Maurice going forward.
