The Tony McEvoy trained colt scored a facile debut win at the provincials last
month and made a swift and successful transition to Saturday class with this
dominant victory.He settled at the tail of the field for Dwayne Dunn and charged to the line to win the 1400 metre contest running away by nearly four lengths.
"It's hard to get excited in June, its cold, but I feel pretty warm at the moment; that was explosive," said Tony McEvoy, who believes the colt has untapped potential.
"To accelerate from the back of the field and put his rivals away quickly in the straight like that was something special.
"That's what a lot of horses lack - the race was over in 100 metres so that's exciting,
"He could go all the way. I would go as far as to say Hey Doc couldn't do that at that stage of his career and he went on to win the Australian Guineas."
Bred by Wingrove Park, Royal Symphony runs for a big group of owners and is a
half-brother to stakes-placed Hoodlum.
He is the eighth winner and last foal of Naturalist, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to multiple Group I winner Naturalism and Queensland Oaks winner Crystal Palace, so has depth in his pedigree to suggest the sky is the limit.
A proven Group I sire, completely free of Danzig blood, Domesday stands at Aquis Farm Queensland this spring at a fee of $8,800.
