Extreme Choice has just had his service fee for 2025 announced at $330,000 and the Newgate Farm-based super sire might lack for numbers, but never quality and his dashing grey colt from Shadow set a new benchmark for his sire at Inglis Easter on Sunday when selling for $1.7 million.
Consigned by Coolmore on behalf of his breeder Kate Nivison, the colt was purchased by B2B Thoroughbreds, who earlier in the day sold a Snitzel colt from La Mexicana that was consigned on their behalf by Segenhoe for $1.7 million to James Harron Bloodstock Colt Partnership / Tony Fung Colts / Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing.
The colt is a full brother to the promising Michael Freedman-trained two-year-old filly Apocalyptic, who ran second at her only start last December behind Gallo Nero at Randwick.
She is the third foal from unraced Medaglia D’Oro (USA) mare Shadow, a full sister to G2-placed Geist, a daughter of dual G1 winner Virage de Fortune, who traces back on her tail female line to the champion mare Emancipation.
She was secured for $140,000 at the 2021 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale by Mitchell Bloodstock (FBAA) on behalf of ETAK from the draft of Godolphin in foal to Harry Angel.
Shadow has returned Kate Nivision $2.18 million from her $140,000 investment – or 15.57 times ROI.
