Juvenile Trial Watch – Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Thursday December 16

There were two heats for juveniles at the Warwick Farm trials on Thursday and they were won by an ultra impressive Written Tycoon colt with a full sister headed to 2022 Magic Millions and a son of first season sire Invader, who has had three winners from his first three runners.

Trained by Gary Portelli, who has had a flying start to the season with his two year-olds, Invader gelding Vaderzan was having his first trial and scored a head win in a bunched finish over flashy Not a Single Doubt colt Narnia, a $600,000 Magic Millions purchase for Tony Fung Investments/Phoenix Thoroughbreds.
 

 

Vaderzan was a $130,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Laurel Oak Bloodstock from the Silverdale Farm draft and is the first foal from stakes-placed Sebring mare Lipizzan, a precocious two year-old winner from the family of Group III winner Camporella and stakes-winner Really Flying.

The other trial was won in considerably quicker time by Written Tycoon colt O’Tycoon, who was having his first trial for the Bjorn Baker stable.

He was allowed to settle by Rachel King and was the widest runner turning for home, but quickly zoomed past his rivals under a hold to win by more than two lengths over speedy Snitzel filly Snitcat.
 

 

 

A $180,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Bjorn Baker Racing / Clarke Bloodstock from the Woodside Park draft, O’Tycoon is the first foa from good Sydney metro winning Redoute’s Choice mare Miss Ballantine, who comes from the family f Group I winner Alverta.

Coolmore will offer the full sister to O’Tycoon at Magic Millions as Lot 263.
