There were six heats for juveniles at the Warwick Farm trials on Friday morning and we got a look at a Russian Revolution colt that has not been sighted since the Group I MRC Blue Diamond.

Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, The Instructor won his debut at Pakenham in January and followed up to win the Listed MRC Blue Diamond Preview before finishing a close up eighth in the Blue Diamond beaten two and a half lengths by Little Brose.

He jumped well and raced on the pace throughout albeit travelling well off the fence and won pulling away by more than a length with ears pricked and will be primed for the early spring Black Type races.
