It was four years to the day at Hastings that the son of Thorn Park won his fifth Group One event with victory in the Spring (Livamol) Classic.
Jimmy Choux went on to finish a gallant second in the Gr.1 Cox Plate at his next start before his subsequent retirement to the Walton farm in 2012 and his daughter What Choux Want has now opened his stallion account as just his third raceday representative.
The filly, who is out of the stakes performer Bankside Belle, claimed major honours in Saturday's Nobby Bussell Memorial 2YO at Riccarton.
She is prepared on the course by Andrew Carston, who purchased her from Rich
Hill's Select Sale draft at Karaka earlier this year."It's a fantastic result and good for Andrew, he's a very professional young trainer," Rich Hill's John Thompson said.
"She was a nice, athletic filly with a good temperament, like all the Jimmy Chouxs, and she looked like a two-year-old type."
In another nice touch, What Choux Want was bred by Nearco Stud, whose principal Greg Tomlinson is a share-holder in Jimmy Choux. – NZ Racing Desk.
