The Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained four-year-old Immediacy was back in the winner’s circle with a strong win in the Enchanted Adventure Handicap (2000m) at Mornington on Saturday.
The gelded son of Tarzino was a Group Two winner at three and has built towards another raceday victory.
Ridden by Michael Dee, Immediacy was put into the race, settling one out and one back and went on to score by a length and a half from Foujita San with Golden Crusader back in third.
Immediacy came into the race off a solid fresh-up sixth over a mile at Flemington and covered the 2000m in a slick 2:03.09.
“We were confident he could win,” stable representative Darren Saunders said.
“He was very good first up at Flemington and stepped up to the 2000m but still with some improvement in him.
“There are nice races coming up in South Australia and we will assess in a fe days and then find something for him.”
Winning rider Michael Dee ensured Immediacy had every opportunity to reward his backers who supported Immediacy into $2.80 favourite.
“He showed me a lot as we wanted to be one off the fence and in a position where we could use his momentum,” Dee said.
“He came off the bridle coming down the side and I wasn’t sure just how well we were going but he really built through his gears and he was strong to the line.
“I popped out and took about 100m to wind up but on the bend I knew at that point the race was ours but also keeping in mind he was only second up at 2000m so there is plenty more in store going forward.
“He pulled up having a nice healthy blow so there is plenty of improvement to come as he goes through his grades.”
Immediacy was bred by Cambridge Stud owners Brendan and Jo Lindsay and is by Westbury Stud stallion Tarzino.
The dam of Immediacy is the three-race-winning Pivotal mare But Beautiful, who is also the dam of Group Two winner Bella Waters.
Originally bought as a yearling by Guy Lowry’s Game Lodge for $15,000 from the draft of Kiltannon Stables at Karaka 2022, Immediacy returned to Karaka later that year as a member of Riverrock Farm’s draft at the Ready to Run Sale. He was bought by Busuttin Racing and Group 1 Racing for $200,000. – NZ Racing Desk
