Juvenile Trial Watch – Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Oct 13

The Warwick Farm trials on Tuesday morning featured three heats over 818m for juveniles and with the $1million Listed ATC Golden Gift (1100m) to be run at Rosehill on November 7, there is plenty of incentive to have a nice youngster in work with heat winners by Home Affairs, Bivouac and Ole Kirk.

The Myracehorse owners will be excited about the prospects of Prince Kirk, who made it two trial wins from two starts when he improved from a trial victory at Hawkesbury last month to close off strongly to score by a neck.

Trained by Bjorn Baker and ridden by Rachel King, the son of Ole Kirk looks to have some of the talent showed by his ill-fated full brother King Kirk.

Also keep an eye on $2.2million Too Darn Hot (GB) colt Autonomy, who showed good pace early and was not knocked around to finish fourth, so will take benefit from the outing.

Prince Kirk was bought privately by Myracehorse as a weanling after King Kirk died tragically in a stable accident after winning the Group III ATC Breeders Plate on debut in 2024.

It’s been a long journey for his owners following Prince Kirk from foal in the paddock to racehorse, but the wait looks to be paying off.

Home Affairs colt Royal Accord was having his second trial and the Team Hawkes trained colt made it two wins from two outings. He did everything right for Tyler Schiller to win by half a length over Bivouac colt Thallein, who found the line well in his second trial.

Trained by Ciaron Maher, the Godolphin homebred is a three-quarter brother to a pair of SWs in Bacchanalia and Aquitaine and his dam Thalia is a stakes-placed half-sister to the dam of Everest contender Tempted.

Ridden quietly for third was flashy bay Tour de Force, a $1.35million I Am Invincible colt from the dual G1 winner Pippie… looking forward to seeing him again!

A $300,000 Magic Millions purchase for  International Thoroughbred Solutions from Newgate Farm, Royal Accord runs for an ownership group that includes some of the Black Caviar owners and notably Neil Werrett in whose colours he runs.

Bred by Love Racing, Royal Accord is the first foal of Yumi, a two time winning Lonhro mare from Belle Couture, a winning Redoute’s Choice half-sister to champions Black Caviar, All Too Hard and to the dams of Group I winners Ole Kirk and Nepotism.

Royal Accord has a bit in common with Golden Slipper winner Guest House, who was also bred by Love Racing in partnership, foaled and raised at Newgate and sold for similar money at Magic Millions with Mick Price Racing & Breeding Pty Ltd/Roll The Dice Racing/Rogers Bloodstock purchasing him for $270,000.

The fillies heat was won by Godolphin homebred Bivouac filly Rosarito, who showed improvement from her first outing at the official trials at the start of last month. Trained by Ciaron Maher and ridden by Zac Lloyd, she was parked deep throughout and let down all the way to the line to win by along neck.

Rosarito is a three-quarter sister to slick 2YO Ojai, who won the ATC Kirkham Plate on debut and was second in the Golden Gift before going on to rack up several Group placings in better company.

Rosarito has a star-studded tail female line as her Group placed dam Matilija is from Romneya (G2) with third and fourth dams Mannington (G3) and Golden Slipper winner Bint Marscay… am tipping Rosarito has more to offer.
