Second in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic to Exhilarates, the Ciaron Maher and
David Eustace trained Dubious looked fast and professional in leading
throughout to win his heat 895 metre heat in 53.72 seconds, which was the
fastest of all the two year-old trials.The son of Not a Single Doubt looked sharp and ready to rumble following a soft trial at Warwick Farm on February 14.
Chasing Dubious home hard for second was promising Rubick colt Yes Yes Yes, who was having his first run for new trainer Chris Waller. He was previously prepared by Darren Weir and won two of three starts in Melbourne in December, but transport issues kept him from starting in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, which may prove a blessing in disguise.
He was wide throughout, but zoomed to the line for Blake Shinn under a hold in an eye-catching performance.
A $750,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the draft of Segenhoe Stud, good looking
Medaglia D’Oro (USA) colt Famous carried the colours of James Harron Bloodstock
to victory in his heat. Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Famous was having his third trial and looked ready to go to the races on this effort. He jumped fast and led, albeit out wide covering ground and was very strong to the line in winning by a length for Kerrin McEvoy and a couple of extra furlongs on race day will hold no fears for him.
Bred by Fairway Thoroughbreds, who have bred and sold the likes of Winx and Vancouver, Famous is the first foal of Group III winning Redoute’s Choice mare A Time for Julia.
Offered by Segenhoe at Inglis Easter in the same draft as Famous was another Fairway Thoroughbreds bred youngster, an I Am Invincible colt from Unassailed that left the ring unsold when passed in shy of his $300,000 reserve.
Retained to race, named Garrison and sent to Peter and Paul Snowden, he too was
in winning form at the trials. Second at his first trial when finishing on from
back in the field, he was ridden more forward this time and led all the way to
win by half a length.Garrison is the first foal of Unassailed, a metro winning Fastnet Rock three-quarter sister to stakes-winners Great Esteem and High Esteem from the family of international Group I stars Central park and Moon Ballad.
A $1million Inglis Easter yearling purchase in 2013, Unassailed has no yearling for the sales this year having missed to Sebring in 2016, but is obviously held in high regard as she has a weanling filly by Japanese super sire Deep Impact.
Other two year-old trial winners were: Hightail (Written Tycoon), Ready’s Girl (Better Than Ready), Gaelic Puzzle (Rubick), Special Date (Snitzel), King’s Champ (Deep Field), Pin Sec (Lonhro), Escondido (Snitzel), Let it Pour (Redoute’s Choice)
