Juvenile Trial Watch –Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday Nov 8

Three heats for juveniles at Warwick Farm on Wednesday morning produced a couple of dominant winners for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable, plus a winner for Leneva Park’s first season sire Royal Meeting (IRE).

We’ve had one look at Justify (USA) colt Storm Boy when he won a Rosehill barrier trial easily last month and he’s come on again from that to score another very impressive win. He jumped on terms and mustered quickly to power through and hold the fence to lead before surging clear when asked to do a bit more to win by five lengths.

Storm Boy was a $450,000 Magic Millions purchase.

Storm Boy was a $450,000 Magic Millions purchase from Coolmore for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing/Kestrel Thoroughbreds and is the first foal of Pelican, a metro juvenile winning Fastnet Rock daughter of two time New Zealand Horse of the Year Seachange. Justify had a very fast and forward juvenile last year in Learning to Fly and this guy looks to be a similar prospect.

ong>The Gai and Adrian juveniles have been firing off the production line and Street Boss (USA) filly Toque looked well educated and blessed with talent. She jumped fair and got into gear quickly to find the front and was never troubled to win by seven lengths running slightly quicker time than her stablemate Storm Boy.

Toque was a $200,000 Magic Millions purchase.

A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase from A List Stud for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing/Kestrel Thoroughbreds, Toque is the first foal of winning Exceed and Excel mare Gorgons, a daughter of stakes-winner Euryale, who traces back to a very good filly in Danglissa, who won the Group I ATC Flight stakes in 1999 for Gai Waterhouse. Street Boss has had good success with Exceed and excel mares and Toque may well add to that.

The third heat was run in slow time and went to the Nathan Doyle trained Royal Meeting filly Body of Venus in the Seymour Bloodstock colours. She did everything right to win by a couple of lengths in a heat where the Godolphin pair Thames and Zeitung were happy to do their own thing while Riff Rocket’s half-sister Codetta took virtually no part at her first public appearance after being slowly away and eased.

 

Body of Venus was passed in as a yearling and retained to race and is from the first crop of Royal Meeting, a Group I winning son of Invincible Spirit that has had pretty good support covering 300 mares in his first three seasons at a fee of $11,000.

She’s bred to get up and running being a half-sister to stakes-placed Call it a Day from the family of Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Military Rose and this season’s Group III ATC Breeders Plate winner Espionage.
