By
champion sire Redoute's choice from the family of champion sprinter and
promising sire Dream Ahead (USA), this colt was an easy choice as a 'One to
Watch' on Monday.
Prepared by Kris Lees, three year-old colt New Ruler opened his account with a
debut victory in the 1100 metre maiden scoring by nearly two lengths.
A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase for Scone Bloodstock Services from the
Cressfield draft, New Ruler runs for well-known owners Ron and Judy Wanless.
Bred by Cressfield, he is the second winner for imported stakes-winning
sprinter miler Expensive (GB), who has a yearling filly by Zoustar and was
covered last spring by Deep Field.
