  • "The 2-year-olds I have from Courtly Choice's first crop are training great. They all want to go forward and are naturally talented. I am very pleased with all of mine."

    -Blake MacIntosh, Trainer

     

    “I believe Courtly Choice is going to make a very good sire. The Courtly Choice filly that I have is very nice & has a lot of desire to be a good horse.”

    - Dan Daley, Trainer



    “My Courtly Choice filly has nice size & is good gaited. 

    She is doing things the right way so far. I am happy to have her in my barn & look forward to NYSS 

    this summer.”

    - John Butenschoen, Trainer

     

    "Courtly Choice gave me lots of good memories. His 3-year-old season was spectacular. Courtly had high speed that he could carry for a long ways. His performance in the Meadowlands Pace and the Little Brown Jug says all you need to know about him. He was just that type of horse."

    -David Miller, Driver


    "Courtly Choice was all heart when he won the Little Brown Jug Final in 1:49.4. In fact, his win made the headlines as a 'rally for the ages'. He showed consistent speed and was a pleasure to train. I look forward to his future crop and I know that his heart will pass on to his offspring."
