Second Stakes for Showcasing's Cylinder Beach

Mark Smith - Saturday November 26

It's been a profitable seven days for trainer Desleigh Forster who backed up the win of Too Good To Refuse in last week's Listed Keith Noud Handicap with a dominant performance by Cylinder Beach in Saturday's Listed Sky Racing Tatt's Recognition Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm.

Showing an impressive turn of foot for Luke Tarrant, Cylinder Beach defeated the brave topweight Hopfgartern (Mossman) by one and a half-lengths with Feltre (Show A Heart) a half-length back in third.

It was the second stakes win for the 4yo son of Haunui Farm's highly successful shuttler Showcasing (GB) who defeated his stablemate Too Good To Refuse in the Group III Gunsynd Classic at Doomben back in April.


"I will keep Too Good To Refuse and Cylinder Beach apart until the winter and I think we might head to the Villiers in Sydney next month," Forster told AAP.

"But it will all depend on how much weight he is likely to get in Brisbane in the coming weeks."

Consigned by Te Runga Stud to the NZ Bloodstock 2014 Ready to Run Sale of 2YOs, Cylinder Beach failed to make his $60,000 reserve.

His second stakes win advances his overall record to 3 wins, 1 second and 3 thirds from 11 starts with earnings of $250,150.

He is the seventh foal of the imported Rainbow Quest mare Queen's Colours.

A winner of two races in Ireland, Queen's Colours is a three-quarter sister to Listed to Listed winner Valley Quest and a half-sister to Group 1 Sydney Cup winner The Offer (Montjeu) and Listed winners Cymbal (Singspiel) and Musha Merr (Sadler's Wells).

After missing in 2014 and slipping ion 2015, Queen's Colours was covered by Showcasing (GB) again last spring.
