A
juvenile heat at the Warwick Farm barrier trials on Friday morning was won in
good style by Snitzel filly Diddles, who runs in the colours of John Singleton's
Strawberry Hill Stud.
A $400,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Segenhoe Stud draft, Diddles is
trained by Clarry Conners, who has enjoyed plenty of success with John
Singleton having won the Golden Slipper for him in 2000 with Belle du Jour, who
was also a Magic Millions purchase.
Diddles jumped smartly and led all the way for Tommy Berry to win the 794 metre
trial by two and a half lengths. She looked fast and professional as she should
given her pedigree.
Bred by Segenhoe and Gerry Harvey, Diddles is bred to be good being from Group
II winner Mimi Lebrock, who won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and was twice
placed in Group I events.
