Newgate Farm’s Golden Slipper winning sire Stay Inside got the perfect result with his first runner as $1million Magic Millions purchase Incognito scored a determined win in the Group III ATC Breeders Plate (1000m) at Randwick on Saturday in the James Harron Bloodstock colours.
Trained by Michael Freedman as was his sire Stay Inside, Incognito was placed at the official 2YO trials last month and took improvement from that outing.
Tommy Berry rode him in that trial and kept the ride on race day, allowing the colt to settle off the pace before chiming in with a good finish to beat Home Affairs colt I’m Ya Huckleberry by half a length with Hellbent colt Revengeance a late closing third.
Bred by Black Soil Bloodstock and offered in the Eureka Stud draft at Magic Millions, Incognito sold for $1million to James Harron Bloodstock Colt Partnership/Tony Fung Colts making him the most expensive yearling by his sire Stay Inside.
He is the second foal and first winner from Bleu Zebra, a metro winning half-sister by I Am Invincible to stakes-winner Fox Swift.
Bleu Zebra has a yearling filly by Pinatubo (IRE) and has foaled this spring producing a colt by Eureka Stud’s young gun Extreme Choice stallion Don Corleone.
Stay Inside stands at a fee of $66,000 this spring.
