Looking Ahead puts the spotlight on runners of interest across Australia and New Zealand. Whether they are a particularly well-bred or high-priced runner having their first or second start, a promising galloper returning to the track or a horse which has trialled particularly well, we’ll aim to give you something to follow.
Today, we like the chances of three horses at Warwick Farm, a $750,000 Written Tycoon yearling purchase from Magic Millions, a fourth foal to race out of a dual Group 1-winning mare, and a $520,000 Rosemont Stud graduate.
