ALABAMA EXPRESS
ALABAMA EXPRESS - Fee: $22,000 inc GST | 16hh 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 WFA Group 1 winner at three. Resembling his exceptional sire in both looks and talent, he possesses all the attributes for the makings of a great sire. He became the first three-year-old to win the Group 1 C.F. Orr Stakes (1400m) since All Too Hard (2013), a race won twenty years previous 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 winning son of Redoute’s Choice to stand at stud in Australia. He follows a rich history of sire line descendants which include Not A Single Doubt, Extreme Choice, Snitzel, Shamus Award and Stratum. Like the exceptional sire Beneteau, he also hails from an Encosta de Lago mare. Entering his third season at stud, Alabama Express has been well-supported with a superb book of 141 mares in his first season and 99 in his second season. His first crop of foals hit the ground in 2021 and he has certainly stamped them as you’d expect from a son of Redoute’s Choice.
“Our particular mare’s family has a real affinity with Redoute’s Choice and Encosta de Lago. To have access to a G1 winning son of Redoute’s Choice that is out of an Encosta de Lago mare, he was the perfect match for her.” Leon Casey, Pencarrow Stud.
