Listed Winner Kiki Express Added to Chairman’s Sale

Stakes-winning juvenile Kiki Express, in foal to Newgate Farm's Extreme Choice (AUS), is the latest star addition to the catalog for the Inglis Chairman's Sale, held May 7. A daughter of champion 2-year-old Sepoy (AUS) (Elusive Quality), Kiki Express won the Debutant Stakes on debut as a 2-year-old at Caulfield and is closely related to dual group 1-winning sprinter Isca. In January this year, her first foal, a much-admired filly by nine-time group 1-winning star Anamoe (AUS) (Street Boss), realized AU$800,000 when offered by Newgate Farm, purchased by Matt Laurie Racing, Willannah Park Bloodstock, and ARJB. The reception by the market of that filly, no Anamoe yearling filly has sold for more, only enhances the appeal of her current pregnancy to Newgate stalwart Extreme Choice. "Her Anamoe filly, that sold for AU$800,000 earlier this year, was a beautiful filly, and her Ozzmosis weanling filly is equally outstanding," Newgate's Henry Field said. "She's a blue-chip investment, being a young, fast mare, proven to produce stunning foals and carrying an October cover to Extreme Choice." Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said he had expected no Extreme Choice pregnancy to be offered to the market this year, given their scarcity, so he is "delighted" to have Kiki Express committed to Chairman's. "Extreme Choice is a freak, and to have achieved what he has to date is quite incredible," Hutch said. "As has been well documented, he doesn't have a lot of pregnancies in any given season, so this is a precious pregnancy, especially considering that Kiki Express was herself a very good 2-year-old that has already produced a show-stopping yearling with her first foal."
