When the China Horse Club/ Newgate and partners stallion syndicate elected to name an expensive Snitzel colt Beadman there would have been high hopes he could honour the name and it looks like a good decision was made.

Trained by Peter Snowden, Beadman, named after champion Australian jockey Darren Beadman, has show ability from the get go.

Already a multiple stakes-winner Beadman, lined up in the $200,000 Group III Gold Coast Guineas (1200m) on Saturday and added another feature win to his CV.

With the colt now 15/1 in betting markets for next Saturday’s $1.5m G1 BRC Doomben 10,000 (1200m), connections have some interesting decisions to make in the next few days.

“It was certainly a quality win,” Snowden enthused. “It was good to see him relax because when you get that far back in the last couple of starts it’s going to be hard. He’s been over-racing but today he was really good.

“He has built into a strong horse. I think that we can keep going as he has shown he has got a great nature.

“I had a plan and there will be discussions and decisions made next week about the Doomben 10,000 but it’s on the table.

“Ultimately the horse is going well enough, and the Stradbroke could be the race.”

A $900,000 Magic Millions purchase from Arrowfield for China Horse Club/Newgate/Go Bloodstock/Trilogy, Beadman has had four wins and three placings from 10 starts earning nearly $490,000 in prizemoney

Bred by Arrowfield in partnership with Hermitage Thoroughbreds, Beadman is the best of three winners from French stakes-winner Iffranesia (Fr), who is by influential sire Iffraaj.
