"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."
