Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Monday May 15

There were plenty of stakes horses in action at the Randwick trials on Monday including grand sprinter Eduardo and quality filly Revolutionary Miss, who both saluted and there were also eight heats for juveniles.

Dundeel is having a bumper season with his two year-olds and had the trifecta in this heat with the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained colt Capital Call made good improvement from his first to second trial to surge home and win.

The Arrowfield Stud bred colt made $450,000 at Inglis Premier when offered by Kulani Park and is from speedy Group II winning filly who was placed in a Golden Slipper and comes from the family of Golden Slipper winner Polar Success.

Capital Call has the silver tail you see quite a bit with Dundeel.

The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Snitzel colt Royal Tribute showed brilliant speed at his first trial earlier this month and did the same thing in this heat leading all the way to win by three lengths. It was the quickest of the juvenile heats at 1050m and two seconds faster than Capital Call.

Bred and sold by Kia Ora, Royal Tribute made $500,000 at Magic Millions when bought by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott/Kestrel Thoroughbreds and runs for a syndicate headed by Go Bloodstock in whose colours he runs. Royal Tribute is the first foal of Canadian Group III winner Jennifer Lynnette (Can).

He is bred on super successful nick being by Snitzel from a daughter of Elusive Quality, the nick producing 15 winners from 18 runners. Five of the winners are SW’s headed by Champion 2YO Filly Away Game, so the nick runs at 28% SW to runner!

Another interesting heat winner was the Peter and Paul Snowden trained Rubick colt Need Some Luck, a three-quarter brother to world champion sprinter Chautauqua. He was having his third trial, but first this prep and was wide all the way before drawing clear.

Retained to race by the Throsby family, Need Some Luck is the 13th foal from dual Group I winner Lovely Jubly and was born when she was 21 and appears to be her final foal.

Additional heat winners were: Ozzmosis (Zoustar), Hellfire Queen (Hellbent), Make a Call (Extreme Choice), Sicilian (I Am Invincible) and Driving Me Crazy (Smart Missile).
