Champion
sire Redoute's Choice produced his second European stakes-winner this week when
three year old colt Sevenna Star won the bet365 Classic Trial at Sandown on
Friday.
Trained by John Gosden and ridden by Frankie Dettor, Sevenna Star didn't let
driving rain deter him and stuck to his guns well to win the 1m2f contest by a
short head.
"Sevenna Star is a huge horse and
we didn't do a lot with him last year. He had two runs and he's a giant. He's
seen the hill out well and I think it's very good form with Chilean in there,"
said John Gosden.
A Gestut Ammerland homebred, Sevenna Star is
the fourth stakes-winner from Galileo's Group III winning daughter Sevenna and
has won two of four starts.
He is the second stakes-winner this week in Europe for Redoute's Choice joining
four year-old Time's Arrow, who won a Listed race in France.
Turning 23 this spring, Redoute's Choice is now the sire of 156 stakes-winners
and will cover a limited book this year at Arrowfield at a fee of $137,500.
