The current crop of two year-olds foaled, raised or sold by Newgate Farm include a flurry of promising types such as Zamzam and China Dream, who will take their place in the Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield this Saturday.
The David Hayes and Tom Dabernig trained filly Zamzam (2f Redoute’s Choice x Fleur De’here) was a $920,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Shadwell Australia and China Dream (2c Snitzel x Forced to Tango) was a $230,000 Magic Millions purchase for Sun Bloodstock.
We wish their owners the very best of luck!
Newgate Farm will also take a keen interest in the performance of Blue Diamond favourite Extreme Choice, having secured a share in the unbeaten son of Not a Single Doubt.
At Randwick in the Group II ATC Skyline Stakes, promising Newgate Farm sold colt Mediterranean (2c Smart Missile x Ekali) will make his debut for Peter and Paul Snowden with Blake Shinn to ride.
A $280,000 Magic Millions purchase for James Harron Bloodstock/ Snowden Racing, Mediterranean is closely related to Magic Millions winner Capitalist and runs for a syndicate that includes James Harron Bloodstock and partners.
He has looked good in recent trials and from barrier five should acquit himself well in a competitive event.
