$800,000 Fastnet Rock Colt Wins Trial

14th October 2008

There were three two year-old barrier trials conducted at Rosehill on Tuesday morning with the John Hawkes trained colt Wanted (2c Fastnet Rock x Fragmentation, by Snippets) impressing trial watchers in taking his 900 metre heat in the fastest time of the morning for the babies.

An $800,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the draft of Highgrove Stud, Wanted looked sharp when beginning fast to sit outside the leader and was only given a little rein in the straight to win without being fully tested by a long neck from the Darby Racing entry Gladiator in 54.36 seconds.

Raced by Hayson Bloodstock and partners, Wanted is the second foal of stakes-winning Snippets mare Fragmentation and was the equal highest priced yearling by Fastnet Rock sold in 2008.
