Tavistock Colt Fastest at MM 2YO Breeze Up Session

Media Release - Friday October 11
The scene is set for next week's Magic Millions Gold Coast 2YOs in Training Sale following a successful breeze up session at the Gold Coast Turf Club this morning.

Almost 70 two-year-olds breezed at the session and the quickest across the morning was a Tavistock colt, catalogued as Lot 203 (pictured) .

The colt, to be offered by Baramul Stud, is the third foal of a six time winning and well related Pins mare and he stopped the clock in 10.68 seconds.

A Rubick colt from Symphony Lodge (Lot 173) looked sharp in his breeze, clocking 10.74 seconds.

Three other members of the Baramul Stud draftrounded out the day's top five times - with coltsby All Too Hard (Lot 101, 10.75 secs), Pluck (Lot 163, 10.75 secs) and More Than Ready(Lot 184, 10.76 secs). The More Than Ready colt from Group One winner Allez Wonderis a brother to recent stakes winner and tomorrow's Randwick group runner Kooweerup.

All juveniles handled their breeze ups in great style and the efforts were impressive considering they ran into a head wind.
