Juvenile Trial Watch – Cranbourne

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 5

A big set of trials at Cranbourne on Monday morning featured an 800m heat for two year-olds with the winner sired by Capitalist.

Trained by Monica Croston and Gerrrad Gilmour, Count Your Pennies looked very professional jumping fast for Ethan Brown and travelling deep all the way to score a neck win over the Peter Moody trained Lonhro colt Capmala.

They were both on the bridle all the way to the line and kicked well clear of the rest, watch the trial here.


 

A $100,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Milburn Creek draft, Count Your Pennies is a half-sister to three winners from stakes-winning Blevic mare Golden Penny.
