One to Watch – Bendigo

Tara Madgwick - Thursday August 31

The Autumn Sun has been quick into stride with some promising winners this spring and this well bred gelding trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young can be added to the list.

Making his debut in the 1400m maiden at Bendigo, he needed every inch of the trip to catch the hot favourite Gallant Prince (Trapeze Artist) to win by a neck with Blake Shinn in the saddle.

Kosgei is bred to be classic type three year-old and after passing in twice as a yearling at Karaka Book 1 and then at the NZB Ready to Run Sale he now races for Kevin Payne.

Kosgei was bred by the late Sir Patrick Hogan and is a half-brother to Group I ATC Australian Derby winner Tavago and Group III placed Sweet Anna being the seventh winner from nine foals to race from Sara Ann, an unraced sister to Group II winner La Sizeranne from the family of Group I winenrs Gorzvenor and National Gallery and further back Mahaya and Lonhro.

The Busuttin and Young stable invariably produce some quality staying spring three year-olds that go all the way to the Victoria Derby and Kosgei has the pedigree for the task.

He is the third winner of the new season for The Autumn Sun, whose star filly Autumn Ballet will contest the Group II ATC Furious Stakes at Randwick this Saturday.

The Autumn Sun stands at Arrowfield at a fee of $66,000.
