Flashy
grey Foxwedge two year-old Albumin was an easy winner at Rosehill on Wednesday
and owes his colouring to his famous grand-mother Tristanagh, the darling of
the 1989 Melbourne Spring Carnival when winning the Thousand Guineas, Wakeful
Stakes and VRC Oaks.
The Gerald Ryan trained gelding was second on debut earlier this month at
Canterbury after leading and with race experience on his side proved too strong
at the finish this time around.
He settled off the pace for Josh Parr and powered to the line to win the 1100
metre maiden by the best part of a length.
A $75,000 Inglis Premier purchase for his trainer from the Kornong Station
draft, Albumin is a half-brother to Singapore stakes-winner Holy Empire and
stakes-placed War Point.
He is the sixth winner from six to race from good producer Dushanbe, a Secret Savings (USA)
daughter of dual Group I winner Tristanagh.
Phoenix Broodmare Farm as agent will offer the current yearling from Dushanbe,
a filly by Zoustar, at the 2017 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale as Lot 456 and as
you can see in the picture she has the same striking colouring as Albumin.
