Manduro’s three-year-old son Time To Choose gained a well deserved first Stakes victory on Sunday 18 December when landing the Listed Premio U.N.I.R.E. at Naples in Italy. Unraced as a juvenile, he made a winning debut back in April this season, and he has been the model of consistency ever since, winning five of his eight starts and never finishing outside the first four.
Bred by Razza del Velino SRL, Time To Choose is a son of the Stakes-placed Orpen mare Penfection, who has produced three Stakes performers including Baby Revolution and Belly To Belly (Dubawi).
Manduro will be covering this coming season at a fee of €7,000 and his highlights this year include the top-flight winning stayer Vazirabad. Time To Choose is also his fourth Stakes winning three-year-old of the season after Wanderina, Plein Air and Red Stars.
