As the current favourite to take the crown of the leading first-season sire, Redoute’s Choice’s G1-winning son Nadeem has been represented by his first Stakes winner on March 12 at Flemington.
After a last start three-and-a-quarter length romp in the Tasmanian Magic Millions, two-year-old filly Triple Asset jumped well from a middle gate to sit outside the leader.
Jockey Michael Rodd urged the filly along to get up in the last few strides to defeat the last start G1 Blue Diamond fourth-placegetter Metonymy by a nose with Commands debutant Altar a further nose away.
Never out of a place in her six starts to date, trainer John Keys stated after the race that filly is now likely to head to the Adelaide carnival and target the G3 Jansz over 1200m.
Bred by Armidale Stud in Tasmania, the filly was the lone representative for her sire at last year’s Magic Millions Tasmania yearling sale where she was knocked down to trainer John Keys.
Triple Asset is out of the Hennessy mare Caralowe and comes from the family of G1 Golden Slipper winner Marauding and other Stakes horses Bold Selection, Lake Alexandrina, Springsteen, Iwan, Voodoo Beat and Latin News.
Triple Asset is one of two Stakes performer so far for Nadeem, with the other being The Aftershock, who was third in the Listed Welcome Stakes at Riccarton Park in New Zealand in November.
Nadeem has 11 catalogued for the upcoming Inglis Easter yearling sale to be held in early April, including half-relations to Stakes winners Vocabulary, Russian Caravan, Custard and the recent Stakes-winner Panipique.
