Prepared
by Anthony Freedman, talented Rubick colt Wilmot Pass scored a sparkling debut victory
at Moe on Tuesday.
The handsome bay raced up on the pace and powered clear for Jamie Kah to win the
1114 metre maiden as he pleased by three and a half lengths.
"Leading into today, we were confident of a good performance, he jumped out
well so it's pleasing to see him bring that form race day," said Sam Freedman.
"We will make a decision on where he goes next when we get home, we could look
for a city race or give him a short break now and bring him back for the spring."
Wilmot Pass was a modest $35,000 Magic Millions purchase for North South
Bloodstock from the Edinglassie draft and is the third winner from
stakes-placed Volksraad (GB) mare Manapouri.
Wilmot Pass is the 11th first crop winner for Rubick, who has had a
fee increase this year and stands at Coolmore at $38,500.
