Juvenile filly Deep Inside became a groundbreaking winner from the first European crop of champion Australian sire Redoute’s Choice when she won in France on Saturday.

Her maiden win at Compaigne came on the same day the number of worldwide stakes winners by Redoute's Choice rose to 134 with another black type win in South Africa.

Deep Inside is the first winner from the first of two northern hemisphere-conceived crops by Redoute’s Choice from his time at the Aga Khan’s Haras de Boneval in 2013 and 2014.

The Gianluca Bietolini-trained filly, racing for the second time, is the sixth foal from the Sadler's Wells mare Well Spoken and is closely related to the dual G3 winner and G1 placed Chrysanthemum (Danehill Dancer).

Chrysanthemum is also the dam of Cunco, the first foal and first winner sired by Frankel who was third in the Listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Deep Inside is also related to the stakes placed Spoken To Me (Dylan Thomas) and is a half-sister to the winner Sweet Cassandra.

Her second dam is the G3 winner Saintly Speech (Southern Halo), from Eloquent Minister (Deputy Minister), and a half-sister to G3 winner Woodland Melody (Woodman) and Japanese stakes-winning sire Maruka Diesis (Deisis).

In addition to the progeny he conceived while at Haras de Bonneval, Redoute's Choice line has been represented in the UK by the Listed winner and G1 placed Elzaam, conceived in the southern hemisphere to northern hemisphere time.

Elzaam is now at stud in Ireland, standing at Ballyhane Stud with his first crop of runners having already recorded six winners.

In South Africa the Australian-bred 2YO colt Table Bay (Redoute’s Choice 2 x Gabriella by Cape Cross) took out the G3 Langerman at Kenilworth to provide his Arrowfield Stud-based sire with his 134th stakes winner.

Table Bay was purchased by Mayfair Speculators for $120,000 at as a yearling in Melbourne. His dam is a half-sister to the multiple G1 winner Cape Of Good Hope (Inchinor).

In an all Australian-bred finish, the Joey Ramsden-trained colt he beat Our Mate Art (Artie Schiller) with the winner’s stablemate Newlands (High Chaparral) third.

• THE Australian-bred 3YO filly Chevauchee (High Chaparral x Chevaleresse by Danehill) scored a two length victory in the Listed Ladies Mile at Kenilworth.

It was the second win at stakes level for Chevauchee, who was purchased for $180,000 as a yearling in Melbourne in 2014.

• TRIPLE Australian G1 winner Helmet sired his seventh European-bred winner on when his son Taamol won a seven furlong maiden at Newmarket on debut for Sheikh Hamdan and Sir Michael Stoute on Saturday.

A 140,000 guineas yearling, Taamol is a son of the Montjeu mare Supreme Seductress, a half-sister to G1 juvenile and Cheshire Oaks winner Menhoubah.

Helmet (Exceed And Excel) is already the sire of a stakes winner in Australia and has sired the stakes-placed Boater in Europe along with impressive winners Chupalla, Thunder Snow, Orewa and Kreb's Cycle.
