Breednet Follow the Official Sydney 2YO Trials - Heats 7- 9

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 18

All 2YO heats this morning run at Randwick over 850m until Heat 5 when reduced to 845m.

Heat 9 – Colts – Scampi – 49.36 seconds

In recent years the Maher and Eustace stable have had a habit of producing an exceptional two year-old at the Sydney trials and they did it again this morning with Blue Point (IRE) colt Scampi scoring a visually very impressive trial win. He jumped fast, led and controlled the race, looking comfortable throughout and when allowed a little rein by Jason Collett moved clear to win easily.

Scampi was a $750,000 Magic Millions purchase.

Bred by Robert Crabtree's Dorrington Farm, he is is a half-brother to fast stakes-winning juvenile Semillon from Sistonic, whose third dam is blue hen Scandinavia so it’s the Black Caviar, All Too Hard and Ole Kirk family.

Heat 8 – Fillies – Runaway Vixen – 50.38 seconds

The

two most expensive colts fought out the finish here with the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained $1million Zoustar colt Espionage travelling deep and edging out the Peter and Paul Snowden trained $1.6million I Am Invincible colt Bodyguard, who had a cosy run on the fence. Both colts carried the James Harron Bloodstock colours.

Espionage was a $1million Magic Millions purchase.

Espionage was bought from the Baramul Stud draft at Magic Millions and is from In Times of War, a winning Street Cry (IRE) daughter of Magic Millions 2YO Classic and Group II winner Military Rose.
