An unraced half brother to sprint star Chautauqua made an encouraging first public appearance in winning a Rosehill barrier trial on Tuesday.
Radradra is a three year-old gelded son of Street Sense out former smart racemare Lovely Jubly, also the dam of dual Group 1 winner Chautauqua.
Like his famous half brother, Radradra is a member of the Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes stable.
Radradra jumped well from a wider gate in his 900 metre heat and led the field of 10 before jockey Jay Ford released the brakes and allowed the youngster to extend in the straight.
He cruised away under no pressure to win by 2.5 lengths over I’m Not Sure and House Number Seven, clocking a time of 53.9 on a soft 5 track.
The trial session also unveiled several promising unraced two-year-olds including Jericho (Smart Missile/Advance To Go) who hit the line well to win by 1.3 lengths for the Peter and Paul Snowden yard.
Godolphin also had a trio of juvenile winners in the Exceed and Excel fillies Wazamba (ex Percussive) and Palominop (ex Aforethought) and Street Cry colt Regenesis (ex Renaissance).
