63 youngsters have been entered for the official two-year-old barrier trials at Randwick next Monday including two million-dollar yearlings, seven by first season sires, the half-brother to the Golden Slipper winner and the two sale toppers from Inglis Classic.
Heat three sees both the million-dollar yearlings:
Godfather (I Am Invincible x Meliora) which made $1.1million from the Yarraman Park draft at Magic Millions Gold Coast, and Mach Ten (Exceed And Excel x Devious Rumour) which made $1.2million from the Fernrigg Farm draft, also at Magic Millions Gold Coast, both to the bid of James Harron Bloodstock’s Colts Partnership.
The first season sires represented are Justify (1), Real Steel (1), Trapeze Artist (4), Harry Angel (1) and Written By (1).
