One to Watch – Swan Hill

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 27

This expensive Capitalist colt contested four stakes races in his juvenile season, so found a maiden event at Swan Hill on a Monday an easy assignment.

Now with Ciaron Maher and David Eustace after starting his career with Lloyd Kennewell, Marine One appreciated the drop in grade to score a confidence boosting win.

Marine One sped through the 975m scamper to win by two and three-quarter lengths in a dominant performance.

A $500,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Kennewell Racing/Group 1 Bloodstock P/L (FBAA), Marine One runs for a syndicate that includes China Horse Club and Newgate Farm.

Marine One was a $500,000 Magic Millions purchase.

He is the first winner for stakes-winning Snitzel mare Golconda, who was also placed in a Group I VRC Oaks.

Newgate Farm sold his full brother at Magic Millions this year for $975,000 to James Harron Bloodstock and he has been named Cannonball.

Golconda has foaled this spring producing a filly by Capitalist’s sire Written Tycoon.
