Godolphin Babes Dominate Trials

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday October 18
Three juvenile trials at Warwick Farm on Tuesday morning were all won by John O'Shea trained Godolphin two year-olds, with champion sire Lonhro producing two of those winners and the dam of the third.

LonhroFirst to salute was the filly Argemone, who took the lead early for Tim Clark and cruised in front before coasting home to win the 805 metre heat in 48.80 seconds by the best part of a length.

A half-sister to Group III placed Matilija, Argemone is the second foal of Group II winning Red Ransom (USA) mare Romneya, a half-sister to Group I VRC Derby winner Benicio and grand-daughter of Golden Slipper winner Bint Marscay.

As a full brother to Listed MRC Blue Diamond Preview winner Cohesion, Revenire would be expected to be up and running early and so he is.

He took out his heat by three quarters of a length in 47.6 seconds after sitting outside the leader Ipso Facto, (a son of Lonhro's Golden Slipper winning son Pierro) who stuck to his guns for second.

Revenire is from stakes-winning Redoute's Choice mare Come Hither, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to leading sire Not a Single Doubt.

Medaglia D'Oro (USA) colt Veranillo made it a hat-trick for Godolphin and despite running the slowest time of the three heats, showed a neat turn of foot at the finish after sitting wide that would suggest he has something to offer.

Veranillo is the second foal of metro winning Lonhro mare Shelters, a full sister to Group I winning juvenile Benfica.

All three youngsters are entered for the 2017 Golden Slipper.
