3YO Watch Races Today

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday Aug 19

It’s that time of year when a midweek metro maiden might be your first look at a new season G1 winner and there are some exciting prospects going around later today that include the $2.3million unraced sister to In Secret, a Frankel filly highlighted in a Breeding to Win Crystal Ball story and a colt that has already started in four G1 races!

The Anthony and Sam Freedman trained Zambales is a big beast by Pinatubo (IRE) that might be growing into his frame and could well come into his own this spring after a seven start juvenile campaign that produced three second placings but no win.

The Godolphin homebred has accepted for a set weights colts and geldings 1200m maiden at Sandown and will run a short priced favourite.

Secrets With was a showstopper in the sale ring.

At Warwick Farm, Annabel and Rob Archibald have picked the 1100m 3YO maiden for Secrets Within to make her debut and with gate two and Dylan Gibbons to ride will get every chance.

A $2.3million Magic Millions purchase from Segenhoe, the I Am Invincible filly is easy in the market, but did win her most recent trial.

In the following race at Warwick Farm, a $100,000 1300m Super Maiden, the short priced favourite is the Chris Waller trained Frankel filly Satin Serenade, who was a late closing second at her only previous start at Canterbury back in June.

She is the subject of this Crystal Ball story and did win a trial last week with James McDonald on board and he retains the ride today.
