Yulong have acquired two of the season’s best two-year-olds with Paradoxium and Streisand to run in the Group I Inglis Sires on Saturday in their new colours.
Blue Diamond winner and Golden Slipper runner-up Streisand is now listed solely in the ownership of Yulong, while Paradoxium’s new ownership includes just Yulong and Ridgmont’s Mitch Cunningham.
Streisand is a $3.50 favourite for the Sires and reported to be remaining in the care of Clinton McDonald who has taken the daughter of Magnus from a $22,000 weanling and $100,000 yearling to become a Group I winner of over $2.4million in six two-year-old starts to date.
Paradoxium (2c Extreme Choice x Paredo) is a $400,000 yearling and been one of the more interesting youngsters of the season despite his two wins from four starts and $294,000.
He has given little doubt he is among the elite group having been set to start a short priced favourite in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic before ruled out with sickness.
He proved his quality again with a win in the Group II Todman Stakes, seeing him one of the favourites for the Golden Slipper but a horror barrier saw an equally horror run, leaving him a forlorn hope before the home turn but brave in being beaten five lengths.
