Hellbent Colt Wins Listed Maribyrnong Trial

Tara Madgwick - Saturday October 5

The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable have had good success with the progeny of Hellbent winning the $2million Inglis Millennium last season with one of his sons in Fully Lit and they took out the Listed VRC Maribyrnong Trial (1000m) at Flemington with his talented colt Tremonti.

Tuned up for his debut with a good second at the official Sydney two year-old trials at Randwick last month, Trementi was dispatched to Melbourne to split up the massive team of juveniles from the Waterhouse /Bott stable, which produced the trifecta in the Group III ATC Breeders Plate run 10 minutes earlier to race at Flemington.

Trementi proved a good choice to head south, handling the straight track to perfection for Jye McNeil. Headed just after passing the furlong, Tremonti found great reserves of courage under pressure and came again to pull away and win by half a length in a tenacious display.

uo;That’s made my day, because I loved the way when he was beaten he just came again and showed such tenacity, I love that in a horse,” said Gai Waterhouse.

“He’ll probably go to the paddock, but he may wait for the Maribyrnong Plate, I’ll speak with Adrian and see what he wants to do.”

Tremonti was a $180,000 Magic Millions purchase for Darby Racing from the Redbank North draft and is the first foal of well bred All Too Hard mare Quachita, a half-sister to group I placed Tulsi from the family of Golden Slipper winner Kiamichi.

Quachita has a yearling filly by Gold Standard and is due to foal to State of Rest (IRE).

Tremonti is the sixth stakes-winner for Yarraman Park’s Hellbent, who has had a flying start to the new season and stands at a fee of $38,500.
