A couple of unraced juveniles by champion sires Zoustar and Too Darn Hot (GB) won trials at Warwick Farm on Monday morning for the Bjorn Baker stable.
Zoustar filly Tiamo was having her third trial and second this prep and the experience showed as she as super professional for Jason Collett to lead all the way and win by more than two lengths and was the quickest of all the 800m heats.
A $460,000 Magic Millions purchase from Lime Country she is the first foal of a winning daughter of stakes-winner Raid tracing back along her tail female line to the great champion racemare and matriarch Emancipation.
We had an interesting first look at Too Darn Hot (GB) gelding Pyra, who was allowed to settle and find his feet before working into the clear where he found the line well for Rachel King to win by half a length.
His sire gets a lot of sharp juveniles, but this guy is not one of them. His yearling picture tells you time will be his best friend and while he was passed in and retained to race, that might well be a good decision as he’s not short of pedigree.
Pyra is the second foal of placed mare by outstanding staying sire Teofilo (IRE) from a prolific Black Type Australian female family that has produced G1 winners Dracula, Complacent and Miss Sentimental – all sired by European bred sires.
Additional winner was The Puzzle (Lean Mean Machine).
