Heliosphere as a yearlingThe baldy faced bay led throughout and despite wanting to over race in patches, he found the line like a tiger to hold off determined Foxwedge filly African Rainbow to win by a half head with nearly seven lengths back to the third horse.

"We'll see how he comes through this, maybe give him another run or just tip him out," said Gerald Ryan.

"He's a nice horse in the making. Spring might come a bit quick for him, but the autumn should be his time."

A $160,000 Inglis Easter purchase for DGR Thoroughbreds from the Widden Stud draft, Heliosphere runs for the China Horse Club and was a successful pinhook having been bought from the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale for $66,000.
