Ridden by Jamie Kah for James Cummings, the Godolphin homebred tracked behind the leader Express Yo'self. Wanting to run out coming around the home turn, Traffic Warden fought to a one-and-a-half length victory over the Alabama Express filly Express Yo'self with the Starspangledbanner colt I'm Kenough two and a half lengths back in third.

Traffic Warden made his debut over 1100m at Rosehill on December 2, where he was clearly outpointed by Storm Boy, who was promoted to the head of betting for the $3,000,000 Magic Millions 2yo Classic at the Gold Coast on January 13.

"Going to the gates, he felt like a very nice horse. He comes back to you and has a beautiful big action,” Kah said. 

“I was happy he jumped well because I did not want to be too far away even though he did get back and ran home last start.

“He is push button and when I pushed him through the gap. He took it. He is a class horse.”

Traffic Warden is the second foal and first runner for the winning Exceed And Excel mare Efficiently a daughter of the marvellous broodmare Dextrous.

A wonderful servant to Woodlands and Darley, the Group II MRC Sandown Guineas winner Dextrous (Quest For Fame) left four stakes-winners, Group 1 VRC Oaks heroine Willowy (Kermadec), Group 1 ATC Champagne Stakes winner Skilled (Commands), dual Group II winner and Group 1 Golden Slipper runner-up Sidestep, and Group II ATC Theo Marks Stakes winner Ambidexter.

Efficiently has a yearling by Frosted (USA) and foaled a Street Boss (USA) colt on October 3.
