Exciting
young sire Brazen Beau has had a sensational year at the sales with yearlings
selling for up to $1,150,000, but it was one of his cheapest yearlings from
2018 that gave him the ‘One to Watch’ on Tuesday with a debut victory at
Ballarat.
Prepared by Colin Little, two year-old filly One Job was a bit keen to get on
with it after jumping smartly for Beau Mertens, but eventually settled to track
the leaders and when given clear running after turning for home quickly put
paid to her rivals.
She sped clear to win the 1000 metre juvenile maiden on the synthetic track by nearly three lengths
and was eased to the line to win with ears pricked.
"She wants to go hard and takes things pretty seriously,” said Colin Little.
"We need her to take it a bit less seriously and get her to relax, but she
learned a lot today to come from behind.
"She was only a cheap filly. The Brazen Beaus were making hundreds of thousands
this year, but we bought her very well as she had a little imperfection.”
One Job was snapped up by Little for just $22,000 at the Inglis VOBIS Gold Sale
from the Miranda Park draft and has very nearly won back her purchase price with
her first win!
Now that’s a horse we’d all like to have!
A powerfully built filly, very much stamped in the mould of her sire, One Job
is a half-sister to Group II placed Zoubo and is the fifth winner from
stakes-placed Testa Rossa mare Testa Reale.
She is the sixth Australian winner for Brazen Beau, who has also sired seven first
crop winners in the Northern Hemisphere with a stakes-winner in each hemisphere
in Accession (Australia) and Avengers Queen (Italy).
The champion son of I Am Invincible stands
at Darley Victoria at a fee of $49,500.
