Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 7

There were four heats for juveniles run at the Randwick trials on Thursday morning and two of them were won by unraced fillies by champion sire Zoustar.

The Waterhouse Bott stable was again in hot form with their two year-olds and the first to win her heat was Zsa Zsa, an $800,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Strawberry Hill / Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, who was having her second trial this prep.

Zsa Zsa bred to be a quality filly as first foal of unraced Fastnet Rock mare Katresha, a sister to Group III winner Dawn Wall and three-quarter sister to Euro Group winners Osaila and Obama Rule. Third dam is Arc winner Detroit, so sky is the limit for this girl on pedigree.

Also keep a watch on fourth placed colt Balmoral. He was a James Harron purchase from Inglis Classic by Hayasugi’s sire Royal Meeting (IRE) and showed abundant natural talent in his first outing.

Another unraced Zoustar filly prepared by Waterhouse Bott, Phenom hit the line well to win her heat over her stablemate Killcare Beach Girl, a daughter of Too Darn hot (GB).

Phenom was passed in at the sales and is a sister to stakes-placed Solar Winds and three-quarter sister-in-blood to stakes-placed Palani.

Clocking the quickest time of the Waterhouse Bott winners was Written by colt Manuscript, who jumped fast from out wide to lead and looked very professional in scoring by more than a length at his second trial this prep.

An $85,000 Magic Millions Book 2 purchase for Tricolours Racing, he is the third foal from stakes-placed Snitzel mare Sugarparma, whose first two foals are winners with Manuscript looking likely to follow suit. Tricolours Racing bought the full sister to Manuscript at Magic Millions Book 2 this year for $60,000 which is probably a tip in itself.

The additional winner was: Aye Aye Captain (Merchant Navy).
