There were five heats at the Warwick Farm trials on Tuesday morning won by juveniles including an unraced colt by I Am Invincible and a pair of unraced youngsters by Capitalist that may well add to the tally for their sire, who leads the way for Aussie winners this season.
The Newgate /China Horse Club colours have been seen to advantage in the Chris Waller stable this season with G1 success for Campione D’Italia and Providence. The same combination features with I Am Invincible colt Joint Venture, who was having his third lifetime trial, but first this prep and surged home late between runners for Tommy Berry to take a narrow win.
A $625,000 Magic Millions purchase from Widden, Joint Venture is the third foal of Snitzel’s juvenile stakes-winner Nomothaj, whose first two foals by Exceed and Excel are both winners.
The Gary Portelli trained Capitalist colt Regal Profit showed nice ability in two trials last spring and was stepping out for the first time this year. Ridden with intent by Alyssa Collett to cross from an outside gate and lead, Regal Profit was up for it and kept going all the way to the line to win by two and a half lengths in the quickest time for the juvenile heats .
A $100,000 Magic Millions purchase from Newgate for his trainer, Regal Profit has a pedigree that would be dear to the heart of Gary Portelli. He is the first foal of Still Reigning, a winning sibling to G1 Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign and G2 Silver Slipper winner Time for War, with both of those horses trained by Portelli.
Back in the day Peter Snowden was the trainer for Champion 2YO Colt Capitalist and he also prepares his daughter Bonvoy, who has been a bit of a work in progress with this trial her fifth, but no trip to the races.
This was her best so far and she was eased down late by Tom Sherry to win by nearly a length.
A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase from Emirates Park, Bonvoy is not your typical Capitalist on type which probably explains the five trials. She is the second foal of Quick Verse, a winning sister to stakes-winner My Country by the Dubawi stallion Poet’s Voice (GB) from a European female family not short on stamina.
Additional heat winners were: Tatiana (Street Boss (USA), Strollin’ By (Farnan).
