New Zealand Horse of the Year Jimmy Choux (NZ) (Thorn Park) posted his first Australian winner at Bathurst on Sunday with a strong win by the John Sargent trained filly Echappe.
An unlucky fourth on debut at Scone last month, Echappe was a short priced favourite for the 1100 metre juvenile open event and won by three parts of a length.
Not offered at auction, Echappe runs for the Sargent family and Nearco Stud and is entered for stakes races over the Sydney Autumn Carnival including the Group I ATC Sires Produce Stakes.
Echappe is the third winner overall for Rich Hill Stud based Jimmy Choux joining New Zealand based stakes-winner Manolo Blahniq and stakes-placed What Choux Want. breednet.com.au
