Prepared by Gareth van Zyl, Trojan Harbour made it two wins from four starts when he dashed clear to win the 1400 metre feature by a length and a quarter.
A $50,000 Magic Millions purchase for World Wide Bloodstock from the Emirates
Park draft, Trojan Harbour is the first winner for Salma, an Encosta de Lago half-sister
to Big Time from the family of Emirates Park's Group I winner and sire Al
Maher.This is the Dancing Show family that has also given us champion sire Redoute's Choice and numerous Group I winners including this year's Golden Slipper sire Manhattan Rain.
Salma has not had a living foal since Trojan Harbour, but was covered last spring by I am Invincible.
Trojan Harbour is the third stakes-winner for Acclamation's Group II winning son Harbour Watch (IRE), who shuttled to Emirates Park for two seasons.
At Kenilworth in South Africa another Aussie bred two year-old found the winner's list with Star Witness filly Public Prosecutor opening her account with a commanding four and half length win as a short priced favourite over 1000 metres at her second start.
Trained by Candice Bass-Robinson, Public Prosecutor was a $120,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Golden Grove Stud draft for Heritage Bloodstock.
Bred by Golden Grove, she is the first foal of South African Group I winner Emblem of Liberty (SAfr), whose second foal, a filly by Shamus Award made $100,000 at Inglis Premier this year.
Sadly for Golden Grove Stud, Emblem of Liberty died last year and her last foal is a weanling colt, also by Shamus Award.
