Recent data from G1 Goldmine has unveiled that crossing sons of Redoute’s Choice (such as Prague) with mares containing Exceed And Excel in their pedigrees is producing outstanding results!

This skyrocketing trend boasts an impressive 4.35% Group 1 winners to runners and 17.39% stakes winners to runners. Prompt Response, Lofty Strike, Amur and Prompt Return all carry this cross.

“Prague has really stamped his stock. They’re strong, good movers. He was a very good mover himself and obviously a very expensive yearling which just goes to show the type he was and I am certainly seeing that come through in his progeny.”

Annabel Neasham, Trainer
