Three heats for juveniles at Warwick Farm on Thursday morning and the winners included an unraced Capitalist colt from interstate that is Magic Millions eligible.
Trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young, Derivative is a half-brother by Capitalist to last season’s two time stakes-winning juvenile Bodyguard, and he looked well educated and professional with Tommy Berry in the saddle. He jumped quickly from an outside gate to go forward and lead, albeit one off the fence and when asked to quicken delivered a good response and was then held together to win by a length.
A $300,000 Magic Millions purchase from Emirates Park for Busuttin Racing, Derivative is the second foal of Tumooh, an unraced Fastnet Rock daughter of Golden Slipper winner Mossfun.
Quickest heat winner was the Amanda Turner trained Blue Point (IRE) colt Point Score, who showed big improvement off his first quiet trial last month when third to blitz his rivals here. Ridden again by Louise Day, he dominated winning by five lengths in a slick 46.16 seconds.
A $150,000 Magic Millions purchase for his trainer from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft, Point Score is bred to be quick as his dam Hill of Grange is a half-sister to brilliantly fast Group II winner Heatherly, the dam of super fast Group III winning juvenile Red Resistance.
Taormina Lodge will offer the yearling half-sister to Point Score from Hill of Grange at Inglis Classic as Lot 293 and she is by Lonhro, who is the sire of Heatherly.
Richard and Will Freedman produced the other heat winner in Fullalove, an All Too Hard filly having her first look that did everything right to win by a neck.
A homebred for B2B Thoroughbreds that was passed in at Inglis Classic, she is a half-sister to four winners from Gamba, a metro winning half-sister to dual Group I winner Cosmic Endeavour.
