Juvenile Trial Watch – Rosehill

Tara Madgwick - Friday July 21

Plenty of interesting trials at Rosehill on Friday morning with Melbourne Cup hopeful Goldman striding out well to win his heat and on the juvenile front there were seven heat winners that included the unraced sale-topper from the 2022 Magic Millions.

An I Am Invincible half-brother to Group II winner Dubious, the Chris Waller trained colt Suspect was purchased by Tom Magnier for $1.9million from the Newgate draft at the Gold Coast last year and was having his second barrier trial, but first of a new campaign. He raced forward for Kerrin McEvoy to sit outside the leader and kept up a good gallop to the line to win by long neck over two other very nice unraced horses in Reasonable and First Landing.

 

Looking forward to seeking all three again.

Suspect was the most expensive colt by I Am Invincible sold in 2022. Reasonable is the half-sister to Darley Princess Series winner Fiesta and First Landing is the second foal of Group I winning Written Tycoon filly La Luna Rossa, the Champion NZ 2YO Filly of her year.

 

The quickest of the 900m heats was won by the David Pfeiffer trained Russian Revolution filly Russian Snitzel, who led by a big margin which was cut back late by stakes-winner The Instructor with $1million Justify (USA) colt Limburg warming into his work for third.

The winner is a bargain $35,000 Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale purchase making her one of the cheapest Russian Revolution’s of her year and to match strides with these quality colts is obviously a good sign.

Limburg is a half-brother to dual Group I winning Champion 3YO Filly Loving Gaby and has raced once when sent around in the Group III ATC Pago Pago to finish second last behind Shinzo. He’s obviously not the speed demon his half-sister was, but Limburg might have a bit to offer next season.

 

Introducing showed good potential in his first campaign with a win and two good efforts when just behind the place-getters in stakes company and the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Trapeze Artist colt looked fit and forward to lead all the way and win, but the run of Carrazana (NZ) to finish second was an eye-catcher.

 

Trained by Chris Waller, Carrazana was bought for $440,000 at Magic Millions making him the most expensive Almanzor (Fr) sold in Australia in 2022. He’s already been gelded, but there was a lot to like about his first ever trial and the pedigree says ‘classic’ horse.

He is a half-brother to Group III placed Manchu from Empress Cixi (GB), an unraced half-sister by Shamardal to French Group II winner Ocovango tracing back to third dam Crystal Music, winner of the Group I Ascot Fillies Mile.

 

Deep Field colt Fire Star has been handled patiently by Peter and Paul Snowden showing ability in two trials earlier this year before going back to the paddock and he looked good again in his second trial this prep leading all the way to win well. He beat expensive unraced Capitalist colt Rapido and talented I Am Invincible filly Fickle, who was kept ticking over with this trial after being scratched from Warwick Farm on Wednesday due to a bad gate..

 

 

 

Fire Star was passed in at Inglis Classic and retained to race by Kia Ora Stud and is the second foal of Group II winning Street Cry (IRE) mare Sabatini, a half-sister to Group III winner Vivi Veloce from Group III winner Royal Sash.

Other juvenile trial winners were: Bright Red (Pierro), Helldancer (Hellbent) and Disney Castle (Epaulette).
