Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Friday May 30

There were six heats for juveniles at the Randwick trials on Friday and some interesting unraced winners including a $1.45million colt by Extreme Choice and a Too Darn Hot (GB) filly bred to win an Oaks..

First look at the Waterhouse Bott trained Extreme Choice colt Tour de France, who tracked wide all the way and surged to the line to win narrowly under a hold for Tim Clark.

Tour de France is a half-brother to US stakes-winner High Class and is the first Aussie bred foal from Group III placed Street Boss mare Euroboss (USA).

Also from the Waterhouse Bott stable a blueblood homebred filly for the Tait family, Little Iris showing natural ability in her first trial, albeit with pedigree that suggests 3YO potential over further.

By Too Darn Hot (GB), Little Iris is from Group II winner Zanbagh, who as placed in the Australian Oaks and VRC Oaks and is a daughter of Group I ATC Australian Oaks winner Wild Iris.

It was the Waterhouse Bott stable again with Capitalist filly Ethaara, a homebred for Emirates Park that looked very stylish winning by a length at her first trial this year after two encouraging efforts last spring.

Ethaara is bred for speed as a three-quarter sister to Group III winner Enthaar from Final Agreement, a full sister to Group I winner Secret Agenda.

Additional winners were Quietly Arrogant (Capitalist), Flying Orchid (Flying Artie) and Caesar (Capitalist).
