The Ingham family still breed a number of horses and one of those is handsome
chestnut two year-old colt Beidi, who was easy in the market when making his
debut for the Chris Waller stable, but still put the sword through two very
expensive colts in Munich ($750,000 Snitzel colt) and Home Soil ($625,000 Exceed
and Excel colt).Placed at his only previous trial, Tye Angland gave Beidi a good run from gate one and he surged to the line to win the 1100 metre maiden by half a length.
"We've always had a good opinion of him, so I was surprised to see the price he was ($18) when he went to the post," said stable representative Charlie Duckworth.
"The good barrier was a plus and when he peeled out he showed a good turn of foot."
Beidi is a half-brother to Group III winner Sadler's Lake, who was also fourth in the Group I BRC Queensland Derby and is the second winner for Mingshan, an unraced daughter of champion sire Encosta de Lago from the family of Group I winner Shame.
She was bought by Ingham Bloodstock for $750,000 at the 2008 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
Mingshan was covered by another son of Fastnet Rock last spring in Hinchinbrook.
