Champion sire, Bel Esprit, marked the weekend
with another treble following wins by Architect (David Lawlor [below]), Tressles (Bryan
Guy) and Spirited Will (Robbie Griffiths).
The victories of juvenile pair – Architect
and Tressles – in Queensland on Saturday could not have been more different in
style.
Architect, who was Group placed at Doomben
in December, came from near last on the turn over 1100m at Ipswich before
winning by a length, while Tressles led throughout to win by three lengths over
1100m on the Gold Coast.
While Architect is out of the British bred
mare, Rozanee (by Nashwan), Tressles is out of the Aussie mare, Inasnip (by
Marwina).
Architect’s family boasts a plethora of
northern hemisphere black type, whereas Tressles, with that cross of Vain and
all-important presence of Snippets, is ‘domestic’ through and through.
Indeed, the female line is pure Oz, right
back to Lady Pop (1918).
Spirited Will’s local connection hails back
almost as far (to Box On [1929]), and she certainly showed plenty of spirit to
win her assignment over 1600m at Bendigo yesterday.
The mare fought it right out to the line
and grabbed her win right on the wire and follows up her win at Warrnambool in
September.
