The difficult thing is working out whether Choisir has actually improved after his spell and then trip to England...or whether he is the same Choisir who Was overall as good but certainly no better than the likes of Rubitano and Spinning Hill.

Regardless of that, no one should doubt the extent of positive impact Choisirs success will have on the Australian racing industry. The industry as a whole owes a great deal of gratitude to Choisir, Paul Perry and the Wallaces who put up the cash to send him over.
