The Turf Talk Syndicate’s first runner can’t be far off and in keen anticipation of that day they have had their colours designed and put together (see picture above)

The Paul Reeves-trained Querari filly Heritage Ridge had her first gallop at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last Thursday under Gareth Wright, who said she was a bit green around the turn, but thereafter “moved beautifully” and it was “quite natural”, so be believed it to be a “promising gallop.”

Reeves said, “She’s very precocious, shows a lot of speed. Little bit green atround the turn, but it is her first time on the track, so it is to be expected, but down the straight she was an absolute professional, straight as a dye, and put up a very nice piece of work with a nice action.”

Heritage Ridge is out of a one time-winning full sister to Gr 1 Cape Guineas winner Noah From Goa.

The other Turf Talk Syndicate two-year-old with Reeves is the Duke Of Marmalade filly Garden Of Eden, who is out of a one-time winning Var mare. Garden Of Eden is a half-sister to six time winner Chatterton’s Keeper.

She is a strongly built filly, but being by Duke Of Marmalade she  is going to take a bit longer than Heritage Ridge.
