Prepared by Bjorn Baker, Champagne Cuddles (pictured Steve Hart) won her only trial at Randwick on October 11 and was fit and ready to run.
The daughter of Not a Single Doubt travelled well for Jason Collett from gate
one and zoomed along the fence over the concluding stages to win by a length
and a half."She's only had the one trial so has lengths of improvement in her," revealed Bjorn Baker.
"With that prizemoney she's guaranteed a run now in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, so that will be the plan if we can get there in one piece."
Bred by Turangga Farm and consigned to the Magic Millions, Champagne Cuddles was passed in shy of her $200,000 reserve and is leased by Champagne Ladies Syndicate, a big syndicate of very excited women including members of the Ramsey family.
Sadly, Champagne Cuddles is the second last foal for Sky Cuddle, who died earlier this year leaving behind a yearling colt by Not a Single Doubt.
Bred and retained to race by Stuart Ramsey, Sky Cuddle was the best of five stakes-winners from the farm's blue hen producer Suggestive, so it would be lovely to see Champagne Cuddles gain Black Type and add further success to this terrific female family.
