The Brett Crawford-trained five-year-old gelding was having his 18th career start came home strongly to beat Charlie (Trippi) by three-quarters of a length, while Youcanthurrylove (Gimmethegreenlight) was a further nose away in third.

Hudoo herself is a sister to 2008 Caulfield Cup (Gr 1, 2400m) winner All The Good (Diesis). The gelding’s third dam is 1978 Musidora Stakes (Gr 3, 1m2f) winner Princess Of Man (Green God) - the dam of dual Group 1 winner Ramruma (Diesis) and Listed-winning duo Royal Scimitar (Diesis) and Ausherra (Diesis). 

Ausherra herself is the dam of Group 2 winner Strategic Prince (Dansili) and Listed scorer Yorkshire (Generous), while the gelding also shares the page with dual Group 1-winning filly Montefilia (Kermadec). 

Hudoo was covered by Widden Stud’s new sire Zousain (Zoustar) this season. Choisir stands for a fee of $16,500 (inc GST).
