Juvenile Trial Watch – Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 5
Four juvenile heats at Warwick Farm on Tuesday morning produced some interesting winners with the fastest sporting the China Horse Club colours and trained by John O’Shea.

Irish Bet as a yearlingSmart Missile colt Irish Bet was having his first public gallop and looked a thorough professional.

He jumped well for Brenton Avdulla and mustered speed quickly to take up the lead, before surging away down the running to win by three and a half lengths, covering the 801 metres in 47.80 seconds.

The China Horse Club race a lot of very expensive horses, but this isn’t one of them.

Irish Bet was a modest $55,000 Inglis Easter Session II purchase for international bloodstock agent Mick Flanagan from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft.

A half-brother to juvenile stakes-winner Fuld’s Bet and Group I BRC Queensland Derby runner-up Rockstar Rebel he is from unraced O’Reilly mare Dublin Me Bet, a grand-daughter of Group II winner Double Your Bet.

This is the family of VRC Oaks winner Diamond Shower, who also won a Group I AJC Sires Produce Stakes at two, so this is a family that has a real mix speed and stamina.

Other juvenile heat winners were Wimlah (Sebring), Fearless Girl (All Too Hard) and Marmaris (Lonhro).
