There was only one set of metropolitan trials in Sydney this week so there were plenty of late season juveniles in action on Friday at Rosehill with heat winners including unraced youngsters by I Am Invincible, Extreme Choice and that flashy grey D’Argento filly that is now two for two at the trials.
The Bjorn Baker trained filly D’Unicorn began quickly and surged through to lead before kicking away to win by a couple of lengths over her stablemate Ozzbourne, who was also having his second trial and is a full brother to G1 winning colt Ozzmosis. Both youngsters carrying the Darby Racing colours.
A $105,000 MM Book 2 purchase from Bowness Stud for Darby Racing, D’Unicorn was the highest priced yearling for her sire sold in 2025. She comes with a bit of pedigree being the first foal of Cosmology, a Deep Field grand-daughter of Group I winner La Baraka, whose descendants include G1 stars Alizee and Astern as well as Group winners Amur, Zulfiqar and Willinga Beast.
The quickest of the 900m juvenile heats was won by the Bjorn Baker trained I Am Invincible filly Kotor, who was impressive in her first trial and delivered the same again today. She showed brilliant gate speed and was held together to the line by Kerrin McEvoy to win by a length and a half.
An $850,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Vinery Stud for Ridgmont Fillies Partnership / Clarke Bloodstock, Kotor is a full sister to stakes-winner Garza Blanca and half-sister to two more stakes performers and her dam Mousai is a half-sister to champion sprinter and G1 sire Starspangledbanner.
The Chris Waller trained Extreme Choice colt Omolong was having his third trial and second this prep with Sam Clipperton to ride. He settled fifth and when angled into clear ground to improve was dipping and diving on the soft track, but once he got his confidence did find the line nicely under a hold to win narrowly.
An $850,000 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale purchase from Baramul Stud for Yulong, he has a December 19 foaling date, which explains the patient approach.
Omolong topped the 2025 MM National Yearling Sale and is a half-brother to Group II winner Prost from a half-sister to dual Group I winner Samaready, the dam of Golden Slipper winner Shinzo.
Additional winners were: Seeiaye (Russian Revolution), Predation (Capitalist), Machrihanish (Stay Inside), Essay (Zousain).
