A half-brother to dual Group I winner Converge, who was also trained by Waterhouse and Bott, Coincide showed good ability in his first preparation with placings behind quality colts Barber and Don Corleone before he finished last in the Inglis Millennium and was subsequently spelled and gelded.

He broke his maiden at his second run back from a spell at Randwick and kept up the good work in Melbourne to win the Benchmark 64 event over 1200m by a length for Jordan Childs.

“When they got to me I thought I might have got beat, but I reckon once he sensed they were there he kicked that little bit more to hold them off,” said Jordan Childs.

“I think he can keep progressing through his grades.”

A $320,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott / Kestrel Thoroughbreds from the Evergreen Stud Farm draft, Coincide has two wins and three placings from seven starts with prizemoney topping $120,000.

He is the second winner from Conversely (IRE), a placed Shamardal mare from Group III winner Melhor Ainda.

Coincide looks a bright prospect for Aquis based Invader, a Group I winning son of champion sire Snitzel that is also a Group I producing sire having left the brilliant filly Sunshine in Paris, winner of the Group I ATC Surround Stakes at just her fifth race start beating Group I winners Ruthless Dame and In Secret.

Sunshine in Paris was sold at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale this year for $3.9million to James Harron Bloodstock and is back in work with Annabel Neasham.

Invader stands at a fee of $11,000.
