One to Watch – Gosford

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday June 30

Gilgai Farm have bred some amazingly good horses including Black Caviar, All Too Hard, Jameka and The Quarterback, so when a two year-old they bred and sold wins on debut for the Chris Waller stable we like to know a bit more.

Easy in the market for the 1100m maiden at Gosford on Tuesday, Epaulette gelding Oscar Zulu showed the benefit of two recent trials to turn in a stylish performance at his first start.

He jumped well to take a position behind the leaders and then was strong to the line in winning by a long neck.

Oscar Zulu as a yearling

A $130,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Gilgai Farm draft for G & C Pastoral Co Pty Ltd, Oscar Zulu is the second winner for Ininthree (NZ), a daughter of renowned blue hen Parfore and sibling to Group I winners Terravista and Tiger Tees, Group II winner Ball of Muscle, Singapore Horse of the Year Super Easy and stakes-winner Our Lukas.

Another of Parfore’s non Black Type winning daughters is Frustrating, the dam of Karaka Million winner Long Leaf, so Oscar Zulu has a pedigree well and truly packed with Black Type.

Gilgai Farm sold a Starcraft colt from Ininthree at Inglis Premier this year for $40,000 and she was covered last spring by Grunt.
