Now
standing in South Africa, Redoute's Choice stallion Time Thief was a long way
from successful at the time o f his departure in 2015, but he has since left
Group I winner and Everest contender In Her Time as well as Temps Voleur, who
won the $100,000 Listed Balaklava Cup on
Wednesday.
A seven year-old gelding prepared by Chris Bieg, Temps Voleur is a consistent
journeyman who scored his biggest when taking out the 1600 metre feature by
half a neck.
He took his overall record to 12 wins and seven placings from 60 starts with
prizemoney in excess of $430,000.
A $70,000 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase from the Eliza park draft, Temps
Voleur is a half-brother to Group III placed Xaitea from good producer Babieta.
A stakes-winning son of Redoute's Choice, Time Thief was given his chance
initially on the Darley roster standing at a fee of $13,750, but steadily slid
from favour before being sold in 2015.
Temps Voleur is the sixth stakes-winner for Time Thief.
