One to Watch – Ballarat

Tara Madgwick - Thursday August 27
Cambridge Stud's promising young sire Tavistock has already made a big impression in Australia through the likes of Volkstok'n'barrell and Werther with this maiden winner at Ballarat on Thursday likely to follow in their footsteps.

TavistockThe Mick Price trained colt Tarzino was third on debut last month, but appreciated a step up in distance for this 1400 maiden.

He wound up late to snatch a head win over the favourite Red Alto and can only improve for the experience.

Running for a big group of stable clients, Tarzino is entered for the Melbourne spring majors and the Group I ATC Spring Champion Stakes in Sydney.

A $60,000 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale purchase for his trainer from the Yarraman Park draft, Tarzino was bred by Cambridge Stud and fetched $45,000 at the NZB Select Yearling Sale in New Zealand before heading to Australia.

He is the first winner for Zarzino, a sister to Group II winner Respect and half-sister to Group I winner Kindacross from the family of triple Group I winner Sky Chase.
