One To Watch from Star Racemare
Craig Tompson - Friday, 13 July 2012

Australasia's best filly of the 2005-2006 season had her second winner at Geelong on Friday in an impressive performance.

Forget is the second foal of Mnemosyne, the joint top ranked three year-old filly of her year after wins in the Gr1 Thousand Guineas and Queen Of The Turf Stakes as well as victories in the Gr2 Tea Rose Stakes and Furious Stakes and Gr3 Silver Shadow Stakes.

By Exceed And Excel, Forget was having his fourth career start but tellingly his first as a gelding.

He has obviously shown trainer Peter Snowden talent, having made his debut in the Breeders Plate earlier in the season where he raced very greenly in finishing down the track.

His second start saw another unplaced effort behind budding star All Too Hard then he was spelled after a second on a heavy track in a Bendigo maiden back in March.

He was again quite green in the run this time, settling back in the pack before coming with a powerful finish, but on one rein for rider Brad Rawiller, doing it in the style of a horse that can win better races as his manners and experience improves.

Forget was the 15th two year-old winner for Darley's Exceed And Excel this season as he continues a stellar year with his juveniles.

Mnemosyne had been a highly successful $400,000 sale ring purchase by the then Crown Lodge racing and breeding empire at the Inglis Easter Sale back in 2004.

Forget is her second foal, the first being Sydney two year-old winner Eleuther.

She has a yearling and weanling by Street Cry however missed to Lonhro last season.

Exceed And Excel is standing the 2012 season at Darley's Kelvinside property at a fee of $66,000.
