Juvenile Trial Winners at Cranbourne

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 4
Two juvenile trials at the Cranbourne training track in Victoria on Monday morning produced interesting winners for the Tony McEvoy stable by I Am Invincible and first season sire Zoustar.

Still Invincible as a yearlingMcEvoy has been a force with his early season two-year-olds in recent years with the likes of Concealer, Despatch and Azazel producing spring victories for the stable and the 2017 crop looks set to deliver further early success.

McEvoy took two youngsters to Cranbourne on Monday with Still Invincible taking out the colts and geldings' trial while Sunlight was a two-length winner of the fillies' heat.

Both two-year-olds showed natural speed before cruising home in their respective trials with Still Invincible clocking 50.53 seconds for the 800m hit-out while Sunlight completed her heat in 50.72 seconds.

A $900,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Milburn Creek draft, Still Invincible runs for well -known owners Graham and Linda Huddy and is a half-brother to two-year-old Group I winner Sizzling, whose first offspring are set to race this season.

A $300,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Widden Stud draft for Aquis/McEvoy Mitchell Racing/Blue Sky Bloodstock, Sunlight (pictured below as a yearling)  is a half-sister to Group III placed Sheikha from former speedy filly Solar Charged, winner of the Group III ATC Kindergarten Stakes at her second start.
