Last season there was plenty of interest in Breednet’s unraced trial report for first season sires highlighting what is in the pipeline for these young sires as we work through spring and head towards the first big juvenile goal of 2023 the Magic Millions 2YO Classic.

In the past 10 days we’ve seen trial winners for Justify (USA), Lean Mean Machine, Performer, Saxon Warrior (Jpn), The Autumn Sun and Trapeze Artist.
