Kubrick keeps his strapper on his toes in the parade ring but the son of Shooting To Win is all business on the track.
After a winning career debut at Cranbourne back on May 3, the Star Thoroughbreds colour-bearer (image Steve Hart ) kept his record at a perfect two for two when finishing resolutely under Glyn Schofield to defeat the honest Espinola (Bel Esprit) by a head in a two-year-old handicap over 1200 metres at Rosehill on Saturday.
The favourite Diamond Thunder (Dawn Approach) was two and a half lengths back in third after doing a bit of work to take up the running.
Kubrick (pictured below as a yearling) was a $250,000 purchase by Star Thoroughbreds out of the Two Bays Farm draft at the 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
That made him the fourth most expensive yearling by his first season sire that year.
The Chris Waller-trained colt is the second foal and first runner out of the Fastnet Rock mare Alcatraz who was purchased by Neville Parnham for $280,000 out of the Segenhoe Stud draft at the 2012 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
A sister to the stakes-placed Rock Of Fortune and a half-sister to Listed winner Chic Choice (Redoute's Choice) Alcatraz is out of the stakes-placed Dr Grace mare Fortunata who is a half-sister to the blue hen Twiglet the dam of Easy Rocking, Fairy King Prawn and Crevette who is the dam of dual Group 1 Cosmic Endeavour who is a daughter of Shooting To Win's sire Northern Meteor.
This is a family nurtured over the years by Catherine Remond and her father Stanley Wootton.
Alcatraz has a weanling filly by Written Tycoon and was covered by the Woodside Park stallion again last spring.
Kubrick is one of five first crop winners for Darley Stud's Shooting To Win.
The brother to Deep Field will cover at Darley Stud's Kelvinside property at Aberdeen in 2019 for a fee of $22,000.
