Newgate young guns Deep Field and Dissident both posted smart maiden winners at Newcastle on Tuesday and also featured at the Magic Millions 2YO’s in Training Sale at the Gold Coast with some outstanding results highlighted by Dissident producing the second highest priced offering of the sale when his colt from Demanding Queen sold for $320,000.
The Dissident colt from Demanding Queen colt offered by O’Gorman Racing and sold to Barbara Moore and was a successful pinhook having been bought for just $55,000 from the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
The colt was the fastest breeze up performer in the lead up to the sale, sizzling in his 200 metre breeze at Warwick Farm clocking 10.18 seconds.
“He looks a very exciting prospect,” Moore said. “He breezed very well and very fast.
“He is a great type – a nice strong two-year-old type.
“At this stage he will be staying in Australia and we will see how he goes before we decide what the future holds.”
Randwick trainer John O’Shea produced a promising three year-old winner for Dissident at Newcastle with Just Society leading all the way to win the 1500 metre maiden by a length and a quarter at his third start.
