A colt from the first Southern Hemisphere crop of Mikki Isle (Jpn) earned time honours at the Warwick Farm breeze-ups on Monday ahead of next month’s Magic Millions Gold Coast 2YOS In Training Sale.
The colt, catalogued as Lot 181, posted a slick 10.24s in his 200 metre dash highlighting an impressive line-up of youngsters to go through their paces during the Sydney session.
A member of the O'Gorman Racing Stables draft from Tamworth, the brown colt is the third foal of the unraced Redoute's Choice mare In the Clear, who is a daughter of the Group 1-winning mare Clean Sweep (End Sweep).
Mel O’Gorman’s consignment produced the five quickest times with Lot 137, a son of Starspangledbanner out of the winning High Chaparral (Ire) mare Doncella (Ire) ran 10.45s while Lot 64, a son of Hinchinbrook and the unraced Saucy Eyes (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) returned 10.49s.
A colt by Shalaa (Ire), Lot 43, from a sister to the G2 Theo Marks S. winner Riva De Lago (Encosta De Lago) clocked 10.58s and the Super One colt, Lot 65, was timed at 10.59s. His dam is a half-sister to stakes winners Etymology (New Approach {Ire}), Dirty (Hussonet {USA}) and Whitlam (Elusive Quality {USA}).
The third session will be held on Tuesday at the Gold Coast Turf Club.

The breeze-ups followed a Victorian session at Seymour last week when a son of Cable Bay (Ire) took time honours. He stopped the clock in 10.41s to be the quickest of 42 lots timed over 200 metres.
Catalogued as Lot 116, the bay or brown colt is the first foal of the Myboycharlie (Ire) mare Bunratty Bliss and is from the draft of Nolen Racing.
Others to impress on the day were Lot 165, by Exceed And Excel who clocked 10.52s for Nolen and Lot 180, a Hinchinbrook colt in the JCS Thoroughbreds draft who also matched that time.
