John Holloway's prediction concerning Redoute's Choice service fee (see below) may well be on track after Undoubtedly secured today's G1 Aami Blue Diamond Stakes by 2.3 lengths (a race won by his sire in 1999). Another Redoute's filly - Opportunity - ran 4th in the same race. In Canberra Al Samer won the G3 Black Opal Stakes by an authoritative 3 length margin. [Postscript: Snitzel (Redoute's Choice ex Snippets' Lass) also won the G3 Skyline Stakes at Canterbury by 2.3 lengths later on Saturday and is now favourite for the $3m AAMI Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill on March 19).

Danehill ensured the public weren't too quick to laud his son's talents above his own historical records however. The champion sire was on the top line of the pedigree table for three group winners at Caulfield today: Elvstroem in the G2 St George Stakes, Fastnet Rock in the G1 Oakleigh Plate and Shinzig in the G3 Schweppes Cup (Danehill Express placed third in the same race - but in a unique twist, Not a Single Doubt (by Redoute's Choice) ran second).
