Essentially a sprinter, Dual Choice handled the mile with ease against her own age group in the 1970 Caulfield Guineas.
Thanks to a devoted Melbourne racing historian we were able to access fifty year old recordings of race wins by Dual Choice. Listening to the calls I was reminded of the talents of this flying daughter of Showdown.
A quick spot of research, a scripting of the Dual Choice story and some good work from Supernova Sound and we had ourselves a podcast - a podcast for old timers like me, and those who like to hear about a good horse from any era.
My thanks to Dennis Najim, Bert Bryant and John Russell. Let’s head down memory lane.
Frank Reys won 11 races on Dual Choice including the 1971 Craiglee Stakes.

“Julie” was a great favourite with Melbourne race crowds at the height of her career.
A lovely head shot of Dual Choice during her stellar 2yo career. She won 6 from 8 as a juvenile.
