Redoute’s Blue-Blood Salutes

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 4
The Gai Waterhouse trained Liberty's Choice put his best foot forward at Canterbury on Wednesday to shed maiden status in impressive fashion.

Liberty's Choice as a yearlingPlaced at his only four previous runs, Liberty's Choice stripped fit and ready to go at his second run back from a spell and led throughout for Tim Clark before coasting home to win the 1250 metre maiden by two lengths.

"His work was exemplary, his coat looked great and Tim rode him a treat," said Waterhouse, who will look to step Liberty's Choice up in class for a Black Type event in the near future.

A $300,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Gai Waterhouse/James Harron Bloodstock from the Arrowfield Stud draft, Liberty's Choice was bred by Fairway Thoroughbreds and is a full brother to stakes-winner Grand Jardin and stakes-placed Pontiana being the fourth winner from stakes-winning Royal Academy (USA) mare Liberty Rose.

Gai Waterhouse/James Harron Bloodstock also secured the current two year-old from Liberty Rose, paying $500,000 for her Fastnet Rock colt at Magic Millions earlier this year.

That colt is the last foal from Liberty Rose, who died last year.
