Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 16
Four heats for two year-olds at the Randwick trials on Thursday morning produced some interesting winners including a colt by Zoustar prepared by Chris Waller, who trained his sire to Group I success.

Plenty as a yearlingA big strong colt, Plenty was having his very first public outing and was allowed to find his feet early by Kerrin McEvoy, who allowed him to slide across behind runners to find the fence.

When asked to take a split and go forward with a furlong to run, he lengthened stride impressively, albeit greenly and worked to the line keenly to score a long head win with nearly six lengths back to the third horse.

The overall time for the heat was the slowest of the four conducted at 44.70 seconds, but the last furlong was undoubtedly good work from a gross colt that will take a lot of benefit from the experience.

A $150,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Attunga Stud draft for Harras Syndicate/Mulcaster Bloodstock, Plenty is a half-brother to stakes-winning juvenile Horizons from good producer Ubiquity, a sister to Group III winner Continuum.

Other two year-old trial winners were Carnina (2fAll Too Hard), Let Me Sleep On It (2fManhattan Rain) and Silent Agenda (2cRedoute’s Choice), a full brother to South African Group I winner Wylie Hall and half-brother to Group I HK International Sprint winner Absolute Champion.
