"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."
