While Sydney held the annual official two year-old barrier
trials, there were also four heats for the juveniles at Cranbourne with three won
by first season sires in promising performances, so here are the results with
breeding and sale details.
Heat 7 (Colts and Geldings)
GILDED CROWN - Peter Morgan
Hallowed Crown x Crown of Coureuse (Beautiful Crown (USA))
Inglis Premier Yearling Sale: Vendor: Glenelg Park, Euroa Buyer: Dean Hawthorne Bloodstck (BAFNZ)

WARNING - Anthony Freedman
Declaration Of War (USA) x Livia (Galileo (IRE))
MM Adelaide Yearling Sale: Vendor: Mill Park Stud Meningie SA Buyer: Sam Freedman/De Burgh Equine $65,000
Gilded Crown did everything right, showing good speed and when challenged and
headed in the straight continued to find the line strongly and prevail
narrowly. A promising result for freshman sire Hallowed Crown. Entente was
quite green in patches and is obviously talented.

Heat 8 (Colts and Geldings)

Deep Field x Pegasus Queen (Fusaichi Pegasus (USA))
Inglis Premier Yearling Sale: Vendor: Aquis Farm, Wonglepong, Qld Buyer: Anthony Freedman Racing $100,000

THE ASTROLOGIST - Tony McEvoy
Zoustar x Aquada (Flying Spur)
MM Gold Coast Yearling Sale: Vendor: Goodwood Farm Murrurundi NSW Buyer: Bennett Racing/McEvoy Mitchell Racing P/L $150,000
Another win for a first season sire in Deep Field. Aerozoom was strong in the
final stages in a good sign for his future. It was the slowest time of the four
heats and there looked to be some horses with more to offer behind, namely third
placed The Astrologist and fourth placed Reddison.

David Eustace

Zoffany (IRE) x Peony Fairy (USA) (Mr. Greeley (USA))
A professional win for expensive filly Bella Rosa which showed excellent gate
speed, led and kept going impressively. California Honey was also good, chasing
well and looking like there was a bit more to offer.

Not a Single Doubt x Court Pastoral (GB) (Mount Nelson (GB))
MM Gold Coast Yearling Sale: Vendor: Mill Park Stud Meningie SA Buyer: McEvoy Mitchell Racing P/L $430,000
The best performance of the day by Mockery who showed brilliant early sped to
set up a big lead quickly and run the fastest time of the four juvenile heats. Another
winner for a first season sire too, this time Coolmore's Group One winning son
of More Than Ready, Verrazano.
