About

Extra Choice is a 12yo bay gelding from New Zealand trained by David Hayes. He is by the stallion Redoute's Choice out of the dam Bonaichi. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $101,750, Extra Choice is considered a racehorse of above-average ability. On 21st Oct 2015 at Geelong, Extra Choice, ridden by Ben Melham, secured his most notable victory in the $120000 3yo Geelong Classic, defeating Jadeer. Throughout his career, Extra Choice has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Extra Choice throughout his career would have yielded a 29% return on investment. Extra Choice has retired from racing, with his final race on 3rd Dec 2016 at Racing.com Park.
