First Season Unraced Trial Report – Stay Inside

Tara Madgwick - Friday May 8

As we move into the last quarter of the Australian racing season it’s not uncommon for young stallions to suddenly jump out of the woodwork, so a look through the unraced trialler report is always a good guide as to what might unfold.

Golden Slipper winning sire Stay Inside has had only 13 runners so far this season for six winners which is the least runners of any of his peers in the Top 5 on the first season sires list, which does beg the question, where are they? Given his crop numbers 113 according to Arion.

Activity at the barrier trials ( see the full report here) would suggest we are about see quite a few more at the races and he had a quinella at the Warwick Farm trials on Friday morning.

The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained colt Secret Emperor was having his fourth trial and third this prep and led all the way to win by a length and a half over The Annabel and Rob Archibald trained Crunch, who was bought as a yearling for $500,000.

Secret Emperor is the third Sydney trial winner for Stay Inside since the start of May, while three more of his 2YO's have been placed, so that is enough smoke to suggest a spark or two and possibly fire!

Stay Inside is priced this spring at $66,000.
