Yellow Jersey Trial Well Worth Watching

Tara Madgwick - Sunday Aug 16

Our Tara Talks Racing podcast listeners will be all over the fact we are fans of Yellow Jersey (Fr) with his Sydney trial catching our eye and he stepped out at Caulfield on Saturday for an exhibition trial that featured the mighty Mr Brightside.

The Tony and Calvin McEvoy trained Yellow Jersey finished alongside Mr Brightside to take the win with slick Everest winning sprinter Giga Kick, looking awesome in third place.

Yellow Jersey is shaping as a real watch horse for the spring and might add to the tally of his legendary sire Dubawi, who has sired a whopping 324 stakes-winners to his credit and 64 are G1 winners and 17 of them have been over distances of 2400m or longer.

For the record, Yellow Jersey is a blueblood being the first winner from Psara, a winning Invincible Spirit daughter of Group III winner Pacifique, who is a half-sister to stakes-winning blue hen Prudenzia, the dam of G1 winners Magic Wand, Chiquita and current unbeaten star 3YO filly Diamond Necklace.
