Whypeeo as a yearlingSporting the Blue Sky Bloodstock colours, two year-old gelding Whypeeo was a hot favourite for the 1005 metre maiden and gave his rivals a cold as he led throughout and powered clear to win by five and a half lengths.

A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase for Blue Sky Bloodstock from the Yarraman Park draft, Whypeeo is a half-brother to Group II winner Meliora and is the sixth winner from six to race from terrific producer Sunset Boulevard.
