History: Redoute’s Choice has sired 502 lifetime starters for 59 Stakes Winners. That is to say that 1 in every 11 runners is a stakes winner! Lot 212 is from a crop of 110 live foals and at a $300,000 was the 10th equal most expensive Redoute’s Choice filly sold at Easter this week. A literal and simple translation would suggest that of this current crop of 110 live foals he is going to have 11 stakes winners, and if price is a simple reflection of ability then she too should be winning her stakes race................However, we all know its not as simple as that! Touched by God was trained by Gai Waterhouse and although she failed to get her to win at the elite level, Gai must of had a very good opinion of her as her last start was in the Group 1 AJC Oaks. Her multiple stakes placings in the Canbarra Guineas, then the Keith Nolen Classic and Adrian Knox are reflective of a class filly that only developed fully once she turned three. Furthermore, her pedigree would also suggest this as her close relation PRIMA NOVA is only at the height of her career as a 5 year old. Furthermore, this pedigree stems back to the great Eight Carat family that produced OCTAGONAL, DIAMOND LOVER and KAAPSTAD a family of utter class and one of the most sought after families in the Stud book.................
