AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE
By sire sensation EXTREME CHOICE, Eureka is excited to bring this most elite of emerging sire lines to Queensland. Performing at 13% stakes winners to runners, and producing 3 x Group 1 winners including a Golden Slipper winner in his first two crops, Extreme Choice is dominating with limited numbers.
The highest priced sales horse by his sire in 2021, Don Corleone was purchased for $650,000 as a foal. He backed up his exceptional physique as the fastest colt at the Sydney first 2YO trials. Don Corleone’s first appearance at the races was at Randwick where he won impressively on debut the same race as Golden Slipper winners Stay Inside and Estijaab.
Performing in every major Australian 2YO Group 1 sprinting contest, Don Corleone was unfortunate not to win the Blue Diamond when being eleventh at the 200m mark after being held up in running to flash home for second place. He also finished second to 3 x G1 winner MILITARIZE in the ATC Sires Produce, beating subsequent G1 winners CYLINDER and VEIGHT. And a powerful fourth in the ultimate 2YO contest, The Golden Slipper, behind SHINZO, CYLINDER and KINGS GAMBIT.
After returning as a 3YO with two fast finishing placings including in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes at Flemington, Don Corleone was retired after sustaining a foot injury in his last campaign with earnings of $971,450.
A genuine talent with X-factor and the looks, Don Corleone is an offer you can’t refuse at $13,200 inc GST.
