A farm that has produced a world champion in Silent Witness, not to mention the likes of Bull Point, Sister Madly, Dances on Waves, Eximius, Amovatio and Golden Spin, Edinburgh Park is a brand to be respected.

AssimiliateNew stars are emerging all the time from Edinburgh Park and include this season's highly promising three year-olds Assimilate and Tamasa.

A $420,000 Magic Millions purchase in 2016 for China Horse Club/ WinStar Farm, three year-old Sebring colt Assimilate won his first two starts for the Peter and Paul Snowden stable in July last year.

He then finished second in the Group III ATC Ming Dynasty before surging home late for fifth in the Group I ATC Golden Rose after being slowly away.

A colt with Group I potential, he looks set to play a prominent role in the upcoming Autumn Carnivals.

A $160,000 Inglis Classic purchase, Tamasa won his first two starts at Warrnambool and Bendigo in October and November before finishing a luckless sixth in a Listed race at Flemington.
