ALABAMA

Redoute’s Choice x Lago Ovation, by Encosta De Lago

A magnificent son of Redoute’s Choice, Alabama Express was unbeaten at two and a Group 1 winner at three. He became the first three-year-old to win the Group 1 CF Orr Stakes (1400m) since All Too Hard (2013), a race won twenty years previously by his own sire. Further adding to the momentous victory, in which he displayed tenacity and talent, he is the only three-year-old weight-for-age winner by Redoute’s Choice standing at stud in Australia.

Resembling his exceptional sire in both looks and talent, his first crop of yearlings hit the sales in 2023 and made a great impression on buyers, selling up to $400,000 and averaging four times his initial service fee.

“The Ghadaayer colt we purchased from the Inglis Premier Sale is a cracking type, his movement is so fluent, he’s balanced and has all the hallmarks of a Guineas horse. We are excited about the progeny of Alabama Express, he was a brilliant winner of the CF Orr and has stamped his stock incredibly well which is something we love to see in a young sire.”
