Chris Scholtz reviews Sydney and provincial barrier trials at Warwick Farm on November 16 and Newcastle on November 17.
NEWCASTLE November 17
Beaumont Track; Good 4
15 Heats – 1 x 1200m (Open); 5 x 1000m (2 Open; 3 Maiden); 9 x 845m (1 2YO; 3 Open; 5 Maiden)
Nathan Doyle has been a rising talent in the Newcastle training ranks and these trials underlined how well his growing team is developing.
Doyle won four heats with TEQUILA CABOS, WEALTHOFKNOWLDEGE, HARD LANDING and LEADER BIAS and also had a good second with DON'T DOUBT KATIE. I was particularly taken with the maiden heat win by WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE, an unraced Capitalist filly who posted the fastest time in the five 1000m trials (61.85;34.40) in the style of an early winner.
Another impressive maiden winner was the Kristen Buchanan-trained ONE WAY STREET, an unraced Super One 4YO gelding with a big build and obvious ability. This was his first trial and he made an impression sitting outside the lead before extending without effort and going through the line with plenty to offer in the fastest of the nine 845m heats (48.64; 33.47).
Jason Deamer has a nice 2YO prospect in HARD TO SAY, an Exceed And Excel colt who was fourth in the Breeders Plate on debut in the spring. He has plenty on his rivals in the 2YO heat, winning in fast time (48.67; 33.10) and looks a likely prospect for the Magic Millions in January.
