CHOISIR PENSIONED FROM STUD DUTY

A brilliant early spring 2YO that won the Listed ATC Breeders Plate on debut, Choisir developed into the best 3YO sprinter in the world under the guidance of astute Newcastle trainer Paul Perry.

The charismatic chestnut son of Danehill Dancer made history in 2003 when traveling to the UK and winning both the Gr.2 King’s Stand Stakes (5f) and Gr.1 Golden Jubilee Stakes (6f) in the same week at Royal Ascot.

His Group I winners were successful from 1000 to 2500m and include champion Aussie bred sprinter Starspangledbanner, four-time Gr.1 winning miler Olympic Glory and US Breeders Cup Turf Sprint winner Obviously, no to mention an SA Derby winner in Kusadasi and a Caulfield Guineas winner in Divine Prophet.

“Even in 2020 his yearlings sold for up to $450,000 and we are hopeful that his 100th Stakes winner is just around the corner,” Tom Magnier concluded.

“He has developed into a leading broodmare sire and successful sire of sires, so we will be seeing his name in pedigrees for many years to come.

“He is happy and healthy and will live out the remainder of his days in the stallion barn at Coolmore where he loves his routine.”
