One to Watch – Goulburn

Tara Madgwick - Monday July 20

He’s a half-brother to a Group I winner by Golden Slipper winner Vancouver and this promising two year-old is a maiden no more after saluting at Goulburn on Monday.

Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Requited showed the benefit of recent racing to lead all the way and win the 1400m maiden at his third start.

Well rated in front by Jeff Penza, he improved on his previous two starts when fourth and second to score a half length win.

A $550,000 Inglis Easter purchase for China Horse Club / Newgate Bloodstock from the Coolmore draft, Requited was foaled and raised at Coolmore and is a half-brother to Group I winner Albany Reunion and stakes-winner Fast Dragon.

Requited as a yearling

Requited is the eighth winner from eight foals to race from terrific producer Secret Silence, who has a weanling colt by Caravaggio (USA).

Requited is the tenth Australian bred first crop winner for Vancouver, nine of them in Australia in addition to his Group II winner Mount Pleasant in South Africa.

The champion son of Medaglia D’Oro (USA) stands at Coolmore at a fee of $30,250 this spring.

Vancouver has sired 10 Aussie bred first crop winners.
