Brisbane, February 11 – The juvenile event over 1300 metres at Eagle Farm on Wednesday was won by improving Catbird colt Goldcat, a $25,000 purchase from the Yarraman Park draft at the 2009 Magic Millions Yearling Sale.
The Danny Bougoure trained Goldcat showed the benefit of race experience, going forward from the jump to be second all the way and then boxing on strongly to post his first win by a neck.
Goldcat is a full brother to Adelaide winner Tantomile and is from the Barathea (IRE) mare Theatrical Star, a half-sister to Group Three winner Flaming Heart, the dam of Group Three winner Suspicion.
Yarraman Park will be sending a small draft of yearlings to Melbourne for the 2010 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale next month.
