The $100,000 Listed Elwick Stakes (1100m) at Hobart on Sunday was won in commanding style by Outreach gelding Turk Warrior, who has a half-brother by exciting young sire Zululand entered for the Tasmanian Magic Millions Yearling Sale next month.
Trained by Glen Stevenson, Turk Warrior was favourite for this Black Type assignment following a facile debut win at the same venue back in November.
Tuned up with a recent trial win, Turk Warrior raced away to win by nearly two lengths and has now won over $90,000 in prizemoney from his first two starts.
Passed in at the Tasmanian Magic Millions Yearling Sale, Turk Warrior was bred and consigned by Grenville Stud.
He is the best of five winners from stakes-winner Ehor, who also won the Listed Elwick Stakes at two before going on to take the Listed Gold Sovereign Stakes as well.
Grenville Stud will offer the yearling colt by Zululand from Ehor at the 2021 Tasmanian Magic Millions as Lot 106.
Turk Warrior is the first stakes-winner for Widden Stud’s young Exceed and Excel stallion Outreach, who has five entries in the upcoming Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
