Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Rosehill 15/3
March 17, 2025
The replays and sectional times have been reviewed from Saturday’s G1 Coolmore Stakes day at Rosehill. Our analyst is following a big name European import that looks set for Australian G1 glory and a Godolphin 4yo that produced huge closing sectionals.
Vauban
The one to beat in the Tancred this year. An awesome training performance from the Waterhouse/Bott team to get the European import to win 1st up over 2000m considering he has never raced over anything shorter than 2100m. The fact he was able to do it off a slow tempo made it even more impressive. I love the set up when these big European raiders flop in a Cup and are then purchased to stay in Aus. He is in everything he goes to this autumn and onwards to the Cup in the spring.
Pisanello
There was a lot to like about the way the Godolphin 4yo hit the line 1st up in the Listed McCartern. It was a very slowly run 1100m making it impossible for him to reel in the on-speed runners despite an extremely slick final 600m sectional of 32.36. He is undefeated from three 2nd up attempts. There will be a nice race he will be aimed at next.
