About
By Choice is a 2yo chestnut filly from Australia, trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott at Randwick. She is by the stallion Written By out of the mare Audacious Choice. She has secured one win so far, which came on 27 Dec 2025 at Randwick when she captured the $160000.00 2yo Handicap. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have delivered an 88% return on investment.
