The Chris Waller trained colt has started to put it together this season with a debut fifth and then a second at his first two starts at the provincials before stepping out to 1550m for a maiden event tonight in which he led all the way to win.

Nash Rawiller rated Patonga well in front and he kicked on well to win by three-quarters of a length as favourite.

Patonga is the second foal and second winner for In Her Time, whose third foal is another colt by Written Tycoon that was again purchased by Tom Magnier, but this time for $1.8million.

Below are their yearling pictures which are interesting given the second colt sold for more than double that of the first, which do you prefer?

Patonga sold at Magic Millions for $750,000.

Full brother to Patonga sold for $1.8million at Magic Millions in 2025.

In Her Time has a yearling filly by Diatonic (Jpn) and has foaled this spring producing a colt by Pierata.
