A son of champion Victorian sire Bel Esprit ran the quickest timed sectional gallop during a successful breeze up session at Seymour on Tuesday.
Catalogued as Lot 33, the colt from a quality Nolen Racing draft, stopped the clock in 10.67 seconds – to edge out his draftmate Lot 200, the Magic Albert-Sunlaw colt who ran 10.68 seconds.
The Bel Esprit colt is from an Adelaide placed Ekraar mare who hails from the family of Magic Millions flagbearer Snippets and fellow racetrack stars Rewaaya, Not a Single Doubt, Mushreq, Quick Score and True Blonde.
Nine of the 37 horses to breeze broke 11 seconds during the session on a track with more “give” than the surface used at the Gold Coast a day earlier.
A colt by Real Saga impressed by running 10.72 seconds when presented as part of the Robyn Wise draft.
The next four two-year-olds to run quick times were all presented by Nolen Racing and are sons of Street Sense, Saxon, Captain Gerrard and Flying Pegasus respectively.
“Vendors, staff and riders should be congratulated for their professionalism yesterday,” Magic Millions’ Victorian Manager Tim Brown reported. “The whole session was a credit to all involved.”
“A special thank you again to Penny Reeve and her team at the Seymour Racing Club for again hosting the breeze ups this year,” Brown added.
