Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 15

There were four heats for juveniles at Randwick on Monday morning that included a unraced youngsters by So You Think, Castelvecchio and Blue Point (IRE), while promising I Am Invincible colt Embassy could be one to follow for the Brisbane Winter Carnival.

Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Embassy was second (Listed ATC Lonhro Plate) and fourth (G2 ATC Silver Slipper) in two stakes races in February before being put aside for a freshen up and he looked strong and professional in this 1050m heat. He travelled deep throughout and then was ridden along to find the line winning by three and a half lengths.

Embassy was a $625,000 MM purchase from Yarraman Park.

A $625,000 Magic Millions purchase from Yarraman Park for China Horse Club/Newgate/Go/Trilogy, Embassy is the second named  foal of stakes-winning Denman mare Dendee.

The other 1050m heat was won in significantly slower time by the Bjorn Baker trained Blue Point (IRE) colt Point and Shoot, who has now had two trials for two wins and looks ready for race day.

A $240,000 Inglis Premier purchase from Mill Park for Bjorn Baker Racing / Clarke Bloodstock, Point and Shoot was bred in partnership by renowned South Australian breeder Harry Perks, who has kept a share in the colt which might be a tip in itself. He is the second named foal from Watchmespin, a winning Sepoy mare from a family that has delivered plenty of success over the years for Mill Park producing Group I winners Serious Speed and Run Fox Run as well as multiple Group II winner Majestic Music.

Also trained by Bjorn Baker was So You Think filly Dame Commander, who showed natural talent to jump and race forward for Rachel King in her first ever trial and looked to have a good experience winning by a long neck held together over Miss Judas, who showed nice ability in her first racing prep last year.

A $200,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Segenhoe draft for Bjorn Baker Racing / Clarke Bloodstock, Dame Commander is the fourth foal of stakes-placed Shamardal (USA) mare Glenbawn Dame, a grand-daughter of Group I winner Stella Cadente.

The last heat was won by the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Castelvecchio colt Shangri La Spring, who flew out of the gates to lead easily and opened up to the line under a hold to win by three and a half lengths in quicker time than the previous filly.

A $325,000 Magic Millions purchase for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing/Kestrel Thoroughbreds from the Arrowfield Stud draft, Shangri La Spring is a half-brother three stakes horses and his dam is stakes-winning Redoute’s Choice mare Opportunity, who has had  six foals to race all winners.
