Juvenile Trial Watch – Pakenham

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 15
Two impressive debut winners in Sydney last year for the Snowden stable appeared at the Pakenham trials in Victoria on Tuesday and both were successful, the pair potentially set to bring major pedigree updates for their Inglis Easter bound siblings.

AnaheedPeter and Paul Snowden have the Group I MRC Blue Diamond in their sights for I Am Invincible filly Catch Me, winner of the Group III ATC Gimcrack Stakes and Fastnet Rock filly Anaheed, who bolted in at Randwick on Everest Stakes day.

A homebred for Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Anaheed won her 900 metre heat by a head and will seek to replicate the success of another homebred for the Sheikh in the Snowden trained Pride of Dubai, who won the Blue Diamond in 2015.

A $625,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Yulong Investments from the Segenhoe Stud draft, Catch Me won her heat narrowly in quicker time than her stablemate, with both fillies pleasing connections.

The Listed MRC Blue Diamond Preview on January 26 is the likely starting point for both fillies.

Catch Me"I will follow the traditional path with them, they will go from the 1000 metres to the 1100 metres and then in to the (Blue) Diamond, it is a good path and I've had them down here this whole preparation so they are savvy with this way of going," Peter Snowden told Racing.com.

Segenhoe Stud have entered siblings to both Catch Me and Anaheed for the 2019 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

They have entered the full brother to Catch Me, by I Am Invincible from Captivating Clair and a half-brother by Medaglia D'Oro (USA) to Anaheed from Group I winner Rostova.
