One to Watch – Hawkesbury

Tara Madgwick - Thursday September 12

There was a hot favourite in the 1100m maiden at Hawkesbury on Thursday in the shape of $1.8million Exceed and Excel colt Chiba, who was making a highly anticipated debut, but he was made to look second class by another first starter by Yes Yes Yes.

Trained by Anthony Cummings and ridden by Josh Parr, Livin’ Thing has been given a good grounding with three trials last month including a win at Randwick.

Chiba led for home, but Livin’ Thing unleashed a big run from back in the field, charging past the opposition to win by nearly three lengths in a dominant display with the favourite fading for third.

Livin’ Thing was a $120,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Fernrigg Farm draft for Anthony Cummings Thoroughbreds / Colm Santry Bloodstock and runs for an ownership group that also includes members of the Bax family who bred him.
