At the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale last year, Two Bays Farm sold a strapping Reward for Effort colt in the Showcase session for $155,000 and he made a winning debut at Kilmore on Thursday for the John Salanitri stable.

King’s Ransom finished off with a late rush to snatch a long neck win in the 1100m maiden pleasing connections with his ownership group including Arthur and Charlotte Inglis.
