A
$900,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Shadwell Australia from the Milburn Creek
draft, good looking Snitzel colt Mutamayel made a winning debut on the
synthetic surface at Pakenham on Tuesday.
Easy in the market, the handsome chestnut from the Hayes / Dabernig stable was
given a good ride by Regan Bayliss and was quickly into stride from the jump.
He was content to settle third and track the early leaders before surging past
them in the straight.
Mutamayel found the line strongly and held on to win the 1400 metre maiden by
three-quarters of a length in an encouraging debut.
Bred and offered for sale by John Muir's Milburn Creek, he is a three-quarter
brother to Group I ATC Spring Champion Stakes winner Hampton Court, who stands
at Spendthrift Australia in Victoria.
Mutamayel is the fourth winner from four foals to race Canadian US
stakes-winner Roses 'n' Wine (Can), who comes from the family of Australian Horse
of the Year Makybe Diva.
Roses 'n' Wine has a two year-old filly by Fastnet Rock, a yearling filly by
Not a Single Doubt and was covered again by the same sire last spring.
