Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Friday Oct 23

There were three juvenile trial winners at Randwick on Friday by I Am Invincible, Hellbent and in form sire Maurice (Jpn).

A short 740m heat with just three runners was won by the Ron Quinton trained I Am Invincible colt Overleap, who made it two trial wins from two starts when he was restrained behind the other two before working home between them for a half length win.

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.

Running quicker time in the next heat was the Waterhouse Bott trained Hellbent filly Infallible, who produced a typical effort from a horse out of this stable, jumping quickly and surging across to lead for Tim Clark.

She was a bit awkward around the turn, but when balanced up she shook off the runner up Amelia’s Affair to win by more than a length.

A $180,000 Magic Millions purchase from Torryburn Stud for BBA Ireland, Infallible is the first foal of Aesop’s Fable, a winning Foxwedge mare from the fast and precocious Mother Duck female family with this branch producing Group II winner Quackerjack and SW’s such as Perspiration and Fake Love.

Taking on older horses in a 1050m heat at his second trial outing was the Team Hawkes trained Maurice (Jpn) colt Torshavn, who worked home from back in the field right down the outside to win by half  a length for Tyler Schiller.

A $325,000 Magic Millions purchase from Baramul Stud for his trainers, Torshavn is the second foal of well bred Snitzel mare One Last Fight, a winning sibling to SW’s Cantonese, Saint Emilion and to the dam of seven time G1 winner and $9million earner Alligator Blood.
