One to Watch – Wyong

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 16

It’s fairly safe to say that Arrowfield Stud do not offer the cream of their crop in an unreserved sale of yearlings on Bloodstockauction.com, but that is exactly where Luigi Muollo picked up our ‘One to Watch’ on Tuesday.

Narito wins with ease at Wyong - image Steve Hart

Trained by Chris Waller, the four year-old son of Maurice (Jpn) had his first start in the 1100m maiden at Wyong and was well found by punters with Narito sent off as favourite with James McDonald to ride.

Tuned up with one recent trial, Narito belied his lack of experience to race behind the leaders and when angled into the clear powered past to win by two lengths running away.

James McDonald was full of praise for Narito, who looks to have many more wins in store.

“Very progressive and he would have learned plenty from today’s experience and has untapped ability,” McDonald said.

Narito was bred and sold by Arrowfield Stud and was the most expensive of 25 yearlings they offered unreserved on Bloodstockauction.com in 2020 fetching $55,550 inc GST.

Narito was bought from an unreserved Arrowfield Dispersal of yearlings on Bloodstock.com

He is the third winner from Miss St Tropez, a placed half-sister by Magnus to Group II winner Don’t Doubt Mamma and stakes-winner Risen From Doubt tracing in direct tail female line to blue hen and Group I winner Joie Denise.

Miss St Tropez is due to foal again this spring to Maurice.

Footnote: Proud parent moment, my daughter Jasmine Haynes is the strapper for Narito!
