Anders Filly Wins $125,000 Pat O’Shea Plate

Tara Madgwick - Friday March 28

The $125,000 Pat O’Shea Plate (1200m) was run at Toowoomba on Friday in testing ground and Anders filly Casino Bay did best in the gloomy conditions to post her first win at just her second start.

Trained by Mark Currie and ridden by Kyle Wilson-Taylor, Casino Bay was second at the same track at the start of the month and took improvement from that outing. She set the pace in front and was strong to the line to win by a length over Zousain filly Sweet Pretender.

A $30,000 Magic Millions Book purchase for her trainer from the Raheen Stud draft, Casino Bay runs for a syndicate of stable clients and has banked nearly $200,000 from her first two starts.

Bred by Raheen Stud, she is the third winner from four foals to race from Group III placed Casino Prince mare Sino Eagle, who was covered last spring by Raheen Stud’s young Dark Angel stallion Top Ranked (IRE).

Anders

Casino Bay is the fourth winner for Anders, who also had a second place-getter at Muswellbrook on Friday with Shenandoah River a late closing second in the $30,000 Starmaker Plate.

One to Watch – Ballarat
Synthetic track meetings at Ballarat can throw up some misleading form, but a debut winner from the Tony and Calvin McEvoy stable that started in the red and won by nine lengths is probably worth a closer look.

Juvenile Trial Watch – Rosehill
There were six heats for juveniles at Rosehill on Friday morning and the winners include unraced youngsters by Cool Aza Beel and I Am Invincible, plus a Farnan colt that tried his luck in Group races in the autumn and was far from disgraced.

Breeding To Win – Crystal Ball – New Season 3YOs to Follow
Analysis of the G1 winning 3YO’s for this season has made us realise how many horses on this list took giant strides from two to three, so we are looking into the crystal ball to find some juveniles we believe could end next season as G1 performers if not G1 winners.
Spring Potential for Darby Racing's Raging Force
Unplaced in the Group III ATC Breeders’ Plate last spring on debut, Raging Force came out of that race with an injury that required significant time on the sidelines, but since returning to full work his progress has been swift.
One to Watch – Hawkesbury
Super Seth has had three G1 winners in Australia this season and John O’Shea and Tom Charlton have trained two of them, so when they produce a lightly raced maiden winner by this exciting young sire we want to know more.
