Juvenile Trial Watch – Caulfield

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Dec 11

Just the one heat for juveniles at Caulfield this morning, but the winner is a powerhouse colt by Home Affairs that looks a lot like Dad!

Trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr, Guest House was ridden by Beau Mertens and went forward from the jump to share the lead, albeit travelling deep throughout.

He powered clear at the finish to win by a length and a half in a dominant win.

A $270,000 Magic Millions purchase from Newgate Farm for Mick Price Racing & Breeding Pty Ltd/Roll The Dice Racing/Rogers Bloodstock, Guest House is a half-brother to four winners headed by stakes-placed Nitrous.

Guest House was a $270,000 Magic Millions purchase from Newgate.

He is the sixth foal of Group II placed Stratum mare Flamboyant Lass, a full sister to Group II winner Attention.
