Champion sire Redoute’s Choice has reached a new milestone with his first Group winner in Japan.

It's been an excellent week for Arrowfield Stud in Asia with graduates winning domestic Group races in Hong Kong and Singapore and a new stakeswinner in Japan for Redoute's Choice.

Maurice, a horse that has yet to win above the G3 level, is expected to emerge as the favourite for Sunday’s G1 Yasuda Kinen, Japan’s premier mile race.
