Choisir
was in fine form on Saturday with a winning double at Flemington and an
additional winner at Rosehill to give him three metropolitan winners on the
day including this gorgeous grey!.
Handsome grey entire Chosen To Fly(pictured Racepix Vic) has booked himself a berth in next month's Listed Winter
Championship Final (1600m) after a hard-fought win in the fourth heat of the
rich series at Flemington.
Already a winner of the second Winter Championship Heat (1400m) at Flemington
on May 19, the Colin and Cindy Alderson-trained stallion had to work hard from
barrier 15 but fought on strongly to win the 1400 metre contest by a neck.
"He has guts and tenacity," Cindy Alderson said. "He was challenged
all the way up the straight and just kept putting his head out.
"I think he does actually like to race off a wide gate because he can just
come across at his leisure and he's a big, strong galloper. He can just roll
when space is available."
Chosen to Fly was passed in when offered by Kilto Park at the 2009 Magic
Millions QTIS Sale and has won eight of 21 starts earning over $326,000 in
prizemoney.
He is one of three winners from Butterfly Kisses, a sister to Group III winner
Legal Agent and half-sister to the dam of Group I winner Mr Innocent.
Scoring earlier in the day at Flemington was the Darren Weir trained filly
Manhattan Maid , while Choice Words
saluted at Rosehill for David Vandyke.
Class: Open. Track: Slow. Time: 1:25.98. Sectional Time: 0:36.75 at 600m. Prizemoney: $70,000 - 1st: $42,700 2nd: $12,600 3rd: $6,300. |
