Rosehill trials on Tuesday morning saw six juvenile heat winners and they included a very interesting Zoustar filly that has had a change of trainer since her debut fifth in the Listed MRC Debutant Stakes last spring.
A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase for Baystone Farm/Matt Houldsworth, Rachini ran in that race for Leon and Troy Corstens and was entered in the Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale which followed straight after in the Baystone Farm draft.
Rachini made $500,000 when offered again after her first start and was snapped up by Bjorn Baker Racing / Clarke Bloodstock.
Having her first trial for her new connections, Rachini sat outside the leader and when Rachel King asked her for an effort there was an instant response and she dashed clear to win by nearly four lengths.
Rachini is the third foal of well bred Ordos Honor, a winning half-sister by Fastnet rock to Group II winner Media, the grand-dam of Group I winner Cool Archie.
The Chase will offer the full brother to Rachini at Inglis Premier as Lot 245.
Also from the Bjorn Baker stable was unraced Pierro colt Malua Bay, who was having his first trial and was very professional in scoring by three-quarters of a length for Dylan Gibbons.
Malua Bay was bought by Darby Racing for $270,000 from the NZB Ready to Run Sale after being sold twice previously as a weanling and yearling.
He is the second foal of well bred Exceed and Excel mare Batemans Bay, whose third foal is a Home Affairs filly that will be offered at Perth Magic Millions as Lot 130 by Forest View Farm.
Fifth on debut to subsequent Inglis Millennium winner Fireball at Rosehill last November, the Team Hawkes trained Too Darn Hot (GB) colt Dr Hook was sporting blinkers for the first time in this trial. Ridden by Tyler Schiller, he settled midfield on the fence and when asked to make ground between horses was quick to oblige and then found the fence to keep going and win by a length over Lorax, the unraced brother to Group winners Space Rider and Brereton.
A half-brother to stakes-placed Wise Inlaw, Dr Hook was retained to race by his breeders Rob and Pam Crosby, who also bred and raced his dam Sylvia’s Mother, a multiple Group winner by Snitzel that was also prepared by Team Hawkes.
Additional winners were: Moonlit Wings (Maurice Jpn), Crescent King (Written Tycoon), Euripides (Street Boss (USA),
