The end of the season is coming fast but there are still
plenty of two year-olds getting ready to race and we saw 10 juvenile heats at
Randwick on Friday with winners including a colt that has the distinction of
being the most expensive first crop yearling in Australia for Swettenham Stud’s
promising young High Chaparral son Toronado (IRE).
A stunning individual, very much stamped in the mould of his sire, Masked
Crusader made a pleasing effort at his first public outing for Team Hawkes.
Ridden by Tommy Berry, Masked Crusader settled off the pace and surged home between
runners under a hold to score a narrow head win in the 730 metre scamper.
A $340,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Hawkes Racing / Cameron Cooke Bloodstock
from the Gilgai Farm draft, Masked Crusader runs in the familiar colours of
Rupert Legh for an ownership group that also includes his breeder Rick Jamieson
of Gilgai Farm.
Masked Crusader is a half-brother to stakes-placed Outlaw Kate and smart metropolitan
winner High Ratio being from stakes-winning Invincible Spirit (IRE) mare Shes
Got Gears.
