Ascot Stud’s G1 winning sire Heavenly Blue looks to have come up with a promising sort in the form of Trust.
The latter made the perfect start to his racing career when he made a winning debut at Turffontein on Saturday.
A full-brother to G3 4Racing National Currency Sprint winner Truth, Trust was given a well judged ride by Serino Moodley to land the De Kock And Sham Families Maiden Plate (1200m) convincingly.
Moodley brought his mount with a strong late challenge, and Trust got up to make a winning debut by a length.
Trained by Candice Dawson (also the trainer of Truth), the three-year-old races for Larry Nestadt, the Gary Player Stud Farm (Pty) Ltd and Ralphs Racing.
Bred by the Tawny Syndicate, Trust is out of the Frankel mare Frankly.
His sire Heavenly Blue is a son of the late, great Snitzel, whose son Baraqiel won the AUS$750, 000 G1 Charter Keck Cramer Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley on Saturday.
Baraqiel’s victory took his record to eight wins and three third placed performances from 12 starts with earnings of $1,128,025, and he is the 24th G1 winner for Snitzel, four times Champion Sire in Australia.
