Redoute's Choice : un crack étalon arrive en France
L’Aga Khan fait les gros titres
Quelques semaines après avoir défrayé la chronique en démissionnant du Syndicat des Eleveurs, les Haras Aga Khan font encore la Une de la vie de l’élevage en annonçant l’arrivée prochaine sur notre sol de Redoute’s Choice, considéré comme le meilleur étalon de l’hémisphère du Sud. 70 000 euros ! Le montant de la saillie donne tout de suite le ton. Il faut remonter à la nuit des temps pour retrouver un étalon à ce niveau de prix en France (même en relativisant les époques et la valeur de l’argent), autant dire que c’est la première fois que nous, irréductibles Gaulois, accueillont pareil phénomène. Le dernier « milord » en date n’est autre que le regretté Anabaa, qui, au plus fort de sa gloire, culminait à 40 000 euros… Du fait de son profil unique, Redoute’s Choice ne devrait de surcroit contrarier personne, la concurrence sur ce courant de sang et à ce niveau de prix étant tout simplement inexistante.
Ecoutez l'interview de Gérard Larrieu (Chantilly Bloodstock) qui donne tous les détails de l'importation de Redoute's Choice
