A timely podcast with John Messara as the Inglis Easter Sale approaches. John expresses his sadness that this sale will see the auctioning of the last yearlings by his iconic stallion Redoute’s Choice.
John talks of three year old filly Miravalle whose recent success in the Kembla Classic gave Redoute’s Choice his 178th stakes winner.
He talks of Arrowfield’s presence at the Inglis Easter Sale, and his long term association with the famous auction house.
John looks back on the reasons he identified Redoute’s Choice as the horse to replace his own famous sire Danehill.
The founder of Arrowfield profiles the sons of Redoute’s Choice who’ve followed in his footsteps at the famous stud.
The story of John’s acquisition of the legendary Danehill is a great yarn. Nobody tells it better than John himself.

The Arrowfield Principal looks back on University days and his acquisition of a Bachelor Of Commerce Degree. That degree led him to his first job with Edwin V Nixon & Partners Chartered Accountants.
