Regally-bred
Time Out Of Mind made his much awaited debut on Gosford's Thursday program and
lived right up to his superior bloodlines by recording an authoritative victory
at the first time of asking.
A 3-year-old
son of Emirates Park shuttle stallion Dream Ahead (USA) produced by the stud's
valuable broodmare Schiaparelli, Time Out Of Mind went in to his first public
appearance fresh off two recent barrier trial successes at the very same track
and proceeded to show how much he had learned from the experiences. Positioned
on the shoulder of the leader from the outset, the quality colt then quickly
assumed control of the contest at the top of the home straight before cruising
to an impressive two-and-a-quarter length victory.
Time Out Of
Mind was consigned by Emirates Park for the 2015 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale
where he was purchased by Eric Lucas and Justin Bahen Bloodstock for $100,000.
Now trained by Kris Lees on behalf of a group of owners that include Eric Lucas
and members of the Ramsden family of Gurners Bloodstock fame, the Dream Ahead
colt turned in a flawless performance and is clearly capable of much bigger and
better things.
Indeed, Time
Out Of Mind is bred to win major black-type events. The eighth foal of a
supremely-bred daughter of Woodman (USA), the extremely promising colt is a
half-brother to Group 2 winner and established Queensland-based sire Rothesay.
In addition, second-dam of the talented youngster is the multiple Group 1
winning racemare Canny Lass, the celebrated full-sister of the Champion
racehorse and sire Canny Lad.
Time Out Of
Mind is the second impressive debut winner for Dream Ahead in a matter of
weeks. The Bob Peters bred and raced Awaken recently scored by four lengths in
maiden company at Bunbury in Western Australia and is equally well-bred, hailing
from the immediate family of Australian Horse of the Year, Typhoon Tracy.
