Daily Debutants

Tara Madgwick - Sunday August 12
The Cranbourne meeting on Sunday features the debut of the most expensive yearling ever sold in Victoria.

Octane sold for $1.4 million at Inglis PremierPurchased from the 2017 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale for $1.4 million by Ciaron Maher Bloodstock from the Gilgai Farm draft, three year-old I Am Invincible colt Octane is set to step out in the opening race, a 1000 metre open maiden.

Octane runs for a syndicate that includes his breeder Rick Jamieson of Gilgai Farm, who retains 30 percent of him as well as Col McKenna who owns stablemate Jameka that was also bred and sold by Gilgai Farm. Other owners include Geraldine Straud who is in Combative and The Closer, Ken McDonald, first time owner Gavin Aikmen and a number of others.

The race jumps at 11.50am.
