2017 has been an extraordinary 12 months for Arrowfield Stud’s champion sire Redoute's Choice and his sons Snitzel and Not A Single Doubt.

Champion sire Redoute's Choice added a remarkable result to his record when he was responsible for two Group One wins by full brothers on the same program in South Africa on Saturday.
