Super impressive at Canterbury on Wednesday, two year-old Extreme Choice filly Extremely Hardys kicked off her career with a facile six length debut win in the juvenile fillies maiden over 1200m.
Ridden by Tim Clark for Chris Waller and carrying the colours of Orbis Bloodstock, Extremely Hardys bounced straight to the lead and always travelled like the winner.
When Clark let the reins out an inch, Extremely Hardys disappeared into the distance and, despite wandering out in the closing stages, was untroubled to defeat Godolphin’s Brazen Beau filly Cinsault, who started favourite.
“She was brilliant, a Timmy Clark special,” stable representative Charlie Duckworth said.
“She obviously gets through the wet and has a nice future.”
Bred by Kingstar Farm, Extremely Hardys was a $300,000 buy for Guy Mulcaster / Chris Waller Racing from the Newgate Farn draft at the 2023 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and runs for Orbis Bloodstock.
A half-sister to the stakes placed Remorseless, the striking chestnut filly is the fourth winner from as many to race for the winning More Than Ready (USA) mare Killcareless.
Killcareless is a daughter of the stakes-placed Climatic, a half-sister to Group winners Precious Lorraine and Lucky Raquie from the Monsoon Wedding branch of the famed family of Redoute’s Choice. She had a Cosmic Force yearling filly sell at Magic Millions this year for $100,000 and she was covered by him again last year after missing to Captivant.
Extremely Hardys is the third 2-year-old winner of the season for Extreme Choice and the second trained by Chris Waller with the other being exciting unbeaten colt Emirate.
