Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Oct 6

All eyes at the Randwick trials this morning were on the world’s fastest horse Ka Ying Rising, but there was a heat for juveniles later in proceedings, so let’s take a look at how that unfolded.

A short 740m heat, but nevertheless a starting point for six babies with the Ron Quinton trained I Am Invincible colt Overleap jumping well and doing everything right to take the win.

From a breeding perspective keep an eye on the third placed filly Terfeshaneh, who is a half-sister by Home Affairs to dual Group I winner Pride of Dubai and three more stakes-winners being the last foal of blue hen Al Anood.

Terfeshaneh looks a busy sort of filly and was a bit keen in the run and duly restrained, so will be interested to see what she takes from that when she steps out next.

A $320,000 Magic Millions purchase from Yarraman Park, Overleap runs in the colours of her co-breeder Gall Bloodstock.

Overstep has been married to I Am Invincible and has had five foals by the champion sire with Overleap the last of them before she had a change of pace and went to Brave Smash (Jpn) last year.

The four previous foals to race from Overstep have all raced and three have won, but no Black type horses, so Overleap is the hope of the side.
