Unencumbered 2YO Wins Romantic Dream

Tara Madgwick - Monday October 8
The spectacular form reversal of ill-fated Magic Millions 2YO Classic winning sire Unencumbered shows no sign of abating, the son of Testa Rossa siring speedy two year-old filly Courshewill to win at Doomben on Saturday and at Tamworth on Monday Depth That Varies won the $24,000 Romantic Dream Plate.

UnencumberedThe first NSW country race for two year-olds, the Romantic Dream was won in brilliant fashion by the Colin Dixon trained gelding, who raced away to win the 1000 metre scamper by more than four lengths.

Purchased for just $3,500 out of the Lustre Lodge draft at the Inglis Scone Yearling Sale, he would surely be an early favourite for the Inglis Scone Classic 2YO race next year.

Depth That Varies is the first winner for stakes-placed Bel Esprit mare Zellindi, who died after producing just one foal.

He is the 16th winner this season for Unencumbered, who stood for four seasons at Three Bridges before his premature death earlier this year.

Unencumbered is the leading second season sire by winners with four more than Zoustar and 11 more than Spirit of Boom and his total earnings put him in second place to Zoustar.
