Godolphin
have had a phenomenally successful season with their two year-olds and added
another juvenile winner to the tally on Tuesday with a debut win at Wyong for
the half-brother to Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Earthquake.
Trained by James Cummings, Sepoy gelding Pandemic has been given time to mature
and was a well backed favourite for the 1000 metre juvenile maiden. He surged
to the line from off the pace to win by a length and a half in a brisk 57.42
seconds.
A half-brother to Group I winner Earthquake and stakes-winner Palomares, he is
the seventh winner from seven to race from stakes-placed Marauding mare
Cataclysm.
Cataclysm has a weanling colt by Kermadec and was covered last year by Epaulette.
Pandemic is another smart winner for
Golden Slipper winner Sepoy, who is now based at Darley Victoria at a fee of
$11,000.
