One to Watch – Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday December 18

Winning a $100,000 Super Maiden on debut at Warwick Farm on a Wednesday is a nice way to kick off your career, especially if you are a well bred filly by The Autumn Sun.

Trained by Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald, Autumn Dream had four trials under her belt going into her first race day, but with nothing startling to shake out from those appearances punters sent her off at 25-1 with Jason Collett to ride in the 1300m maiden.

Ridden patiently, he allowed her to find her feet and when angled into clear running Autumn Dream was tenacious to the line edging out the favourite Hurry Miss to win by a short half head.

“She’s a relaxed customer at home so you’re never sure what they’ve got and I think she’ll be better over further and probably get out beyond a mile,” said Annabel Neasham.

“It’s a great result for some really good clients in Ladbrokes and Arrowfield Stud, who have entrusted us with a lovely filly.”

Autumn Dream was a $400,000 Inglis Easter purchase.

A $400,000 Inglis Easter purchase for C Bruggeman / Paul Moroney Bloodstock, Autumn Dream runs in the Ladbrokes colours and is the second foal and first winner from Meraki Miss, a winning half-sister by I Am Invincible to Group I winner Samadoubt and to the dam of dual South African Group I winner Linebacker.

Meraki Miss has been married to The Autumn Sun and has a two year-old colt called Mainstay that sold for $350,000 at Inglis Easter this year and she produced another colt by him this spring, but has now had a change of pace and is in foal to Dundeel.

$750,000 Deep Field Colt a SW on Debut
Nearly all of the good colts and geldings by now pensioned sire Deep Field find their way to Hong Kong, but astute trainer Clinton McDonald was determined to keep Rosberg paying $750,000 for the colt at the Inglis Ready 2Race Sale last year and he was rewarded at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

The early spring has tended to bring the very best out of Quintessa, and that trend continued at Ellerslie on Saturday with a spectacular last-to-first performance at $36 odds in the Gr.1 Proisir Plate.
Alpha Sofie Wins Listed Atlantic Jewel
A decision to transfer talented Capitalist  filly Alpha Sofie from the Queensland stable of Jason Edwards to Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman in Victoria paid immediate dividends at Moonee Valley on Saturday when she charged home to win the $175,000 Listed MRC Atlantic Jewel Stakes (1200m).
Pericles Turns Back the Clock
Six year-old Street Boss (USA) gelding Pericles won the Group II ATC Tramway Stakes (1400m) two years ago in 2023 when trained by James Cummings and he repeated the effort at Randwick on Saturday, but this time he is in the care of Bjorn Baker.

It didn't carry Black Type, but the $200,000 MVRC So You Think Stakes (1500m) at Moonee Valley was packed with intrigue and G1 winners with spring aspirations.
Concorde Stakes Success For Headwall
With the first two across the line highlighting their claims for an Everest slot, Matthew Smith’s Headwall (Dream Ahead) came with a well-timed run in the $1m Group 3 ATC Concorde Stakes (1000m) to deny the unlucky Lady Shenandoah (Snitzel).
Barnstorming Performance As Baraqiel Wins G1 Moir Stakes
Off the back of his impressive last start Listed Norman Carlyon Stakes victory at the same track, Snitzel gelding Baraqiel had everyone talking, and rightfully so, as he justified the faith of his trainers, charging late to win the $750,000 Group 1 MVRC Moir Stakes (1000m) in the Bennett Racing silks.
