Dual Choice was a Champion Mare, no doubt about it....She carried a massive weight in this her 2nd Oakleigh Plate, namely 59.5Kgs (9.5)....She was then beaten by a Half Length by Crown in the '72 Newmarket H'cp, when Carrying a Mammoth 60.5Kgs (9.7) and giving the winner an 8Kg advantage.....It was Run in Race Record Time, 1 Min 9.3 Secs and was her last start before being retired....They talk about Black Caviar doing amazing things, but she never carried the weights that Dual Choice did...A Champion Mare and VERY Underrated by The Racing Fraternity....Cheers from Damo.
As I wrote recently on another dual choice video, she was by showdown a top class English horse, infact she was in showdowns first crop a truly great sire, although through many unsound horses among them. He stood at stockwell stud diggers rest Victoria for an enormous stud fee for those times.
@@iansmith587 Yeah Ian, Showdown produced Many Champs and some Very Good Gallopers, as well....Tontonan and Toy Show were Champions along with Dual Choice, but Royal Show, Silver Sharpe, Show Ego, The Judge and Ease The Squeeze were Pretty Good, as well...Probably The Last Really Good Horse that Showdown Produced was Love A Show, who won the 1983 Blue Diamond and then ran a close 3rd in The '83 Golden Slipper, when she was on the Melbourne Leg the whole way...She wud have Won, if she cud have changed over to the Sydney Leg....It was Her last Start, as she Injured Herself in the Race, but soundness was a problem for all of Showdown's Progeny, as U said Ian.....Cheers from Damo.
Oops, forgot Leica Show, who was a Champion Mare by Showdown that Won the '74 Wakeful Stks and '74 VRC Oaks...She went on to win Many Sprint Races, such as the '75 William Reid Stks, The '75 Canterbury Stks, The '76 Alister Clark Stks and was narrowly Beaten in the '76 Lightning Stks and '76 Newmarket H'cp.....Cheers from Damo.

Actually this was her 1st Oakleigh Plate in 1971, not her 2nd one in 1972....Sorry bout that, with Cheers from Damo.

No wonder Regal Vista was a certainty in the Muntham Hcp at Casterton
