A
full brother to Australian Horse of the Year Lankan Rupee, four year-old
Redoute's Choice stallion Regal Stage made a winning debut at Gosford on
Tuesday.
Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Regal Stage was a hot favourite following
a recent trial win and raced up to expectation when cruising home to win by more
than a length in the 1200 metre maiden.
Regal Stage (image Steve Hart) was a $1.8 million Inglis Easter purchase from the Coolmore draft
for Gai Waterhouse Racing / J Blaxland / Nordic Racing & Breeding and is
from Group III winner Estelle Collection, who was bought by Coolmore for $1.4
million at the 2014 Teeley Assets Dispersal at Magic Millions.
Coolmore retained the current two year-old filly by Fastnet Rock from Estelle
Collection and Art Collection has already gained Black Type with a placing last
spring in the Group III VRC Maribyrnong Plate and the yearling colt from
Estelle Collection by Fastnet Rock is entered for Inglis Easter as Lot 446.
