There were four heats at Rosehill on Friday that were won by juveniles and they included unraced youngsters by Stay Inside, Exceedance and Zoustar.
The Tom Charlton trained Stay Inside colt Lord Horatio was having his third trial and second this prep and put up his best effort to date leading all the way for Dylan Gibbons to win by a couple of lengths.
A $300,000 Magic Millions purchase, Lord Horatio is the first foal of well bred Murchison, a winning half-sister to Group I ATC Coolmore Classic winner Steps in Time from Group II winner Rare Insight. It’s an elite female family packed with G1 winners such as Espiona, Glamour Puss and Vision and Power.
Second trial for the Team Hawkes trained Exceedance colt Keen to Exceed and he showed good improvement from the first to forward and track the leader before surging clear with blueblood filly Lady Catalina given a quiet tick over trial to run second.
A $1.8million Written Tycoon filly from Away Game, Lady Catalina won her debut at Newcastle last month and might be looking to target some Black Type before the season end.
A $150,000 Magic Millions purchase, Keen to Exceed is a half-brother to three metro winners and comes from a quality European Black Type family.
Having her second trial, but first for new trainer Michael Freedman after trialling once in January for Terry Croft, Zoustar filly Uncertain Glory won by a length and three-quarters over Seductra and Tigroni, who both showed ability on their first racing preps over the summer with form against some of the better juveniles.
A $270,000 Inglis Easter purchase, Uncertain Glory is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to G3 placed Celestial Storm and is from G3 placed Sebring mare Positive Problems.
Addition winner was Krasina (Russian Revolution).
