Miss October was an ultra quick daughter of Var who won the Grade 3 Tommy Hotspur Handicap over 1000m and she has gone on to produce some decent runners at stud, including the Grade 1 Gold Medallion winner Tempting Fate.

Her Candice Bass-Robinson-trained daughter October Morn by superstar sire Trippi is shaping up to be a big race contender after an impressive win at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Wednesday.

She was just off the pace in the early stages but was doing it easily.

She was still green when asked to quicken, but soon got the hang of it and swept past the 11/10 favourite Golden Sickle and won easing up under Craig Zackey by 2,25 lengths.

It was a Juvenile Plate, so she was receiving 3kg from the previous winner Golden Sickle.

However, the latter is well performed having won comfortably on debut and followed by finishing fourth in the Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes over 1100m and third in the BSA Sales Cup over 1200m, both at Kenilworth.  

Zackey spoke of October Morn’s elastic-like action and believes she will continue to improve as she matures.

Assistant trainer Melissa Arnold commented on her having been more backward than some of the yard’s “early” fillies, so it the odds are probably against her following in Tempting Fate’s footsteps and going for a Hollywoodbets Scottsville two-year-old Grade 1. 

October Morn is an Avontuur and David Abery homebred.
