Juvenile Trial Watch – Rosehill

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Apr 2

Some blueblood unraced trial winners at Rosehill on Thursday morning, several of them with siblings sold earlier this week at Inglis Easter.

Tyreel Stud elected to sell their star broodmare Pinocchio at the 2024 Inglis Chairman’s Sale and the dam of Everest winner Classique Legend made $1,150,000. They kept a filly from her by I Am Invincible to race and Fiaba was sent into work with Chris Waller.

She had her fourth trial this morning and best so far when scoring by a head over another well bred I Am Invincible filly Air of Solace, the first foal of Group I MRC Thousand Guineas winner Odeum.

The current yearling I Am Invincible filly from Pinocchio was sold at Inglis Easter this week for $650,000 to Ridgmont Fillies Partnership / Clarke Bloodstock and Odeum also had a yearling sell this year with her colt by I Am Invincible fetching $450,000 at Magic Millions.

Also from the Chris Waller stable, $1.7million Snitzel colt Nations League was asked to do a bit in his second trial this preparation following an underwhelming debut run last December.

He is the second foal of imported stakes-winner Fashion Faux Pas (USA) and her third is a filly by Extreme Choice that sold for $1.1million this week to Emirates Park / Michael Freedman Racing / Andrew Williams Bloodstock.

The $2.7million full brother to Group I winner Switzerland, Snitzel colt St Gotthard was having his third trial and best so far when beaten a neck by good looking Exceedance colt Wild Atlantic. Trained by Team Hawkes, Wild Atlantic is two for two at the trials and was the most expensive yearling by Exceedance sold in 2025.

Trained by Chris Waller as was his famous older brother Switzerland, St Gotthard has some big shoes to fill and his dam Ms Bad Behavior (Can) produced another expensive full sibling earlier this week with her yearling colt fetching $2million to the bid of James Harron Bloodstock Colt Partnership / Tony Fung Colts / Tom Magnier.

Savvy Hallie has been one of the 3YO best fillies in Sydney this season and her half-sister by Wootton Bassett (GB) is the Chris Waller trained Katoto, who won her trial by a head over her stablemate Rocket Girl. Both fillies showing nice ability and also liking strong late finish of Super Seth’s brother Titan Punch.

Additional winner was Capital Illusion (Capitalist).
