Farnan's Milllion Dollar Colt a Debut Winner

Craig Tompson - Friday February 21

Golden Slipper winner Farnan’s first season continues to build steam with his highest priced yearling to date, Farcited becoming winner number four on debut.

Farcited as a yearling

Put aside after a midfield effort at the official two-year-old trials in September, the Waterhouse/Bott trained colt was given two trials leading into his debut run this time and after drawing barrier nine was never closer than three to four wide, just off pace, without cover.

It didn’t stop him chiming in strongly into the straight and in the final hundred metres found plenty to get away on the opposition in a most impressive performance under Adam Hyeronimus to beat Steel Knight (Capitalist) by a length with Perle De Chocolat (Astern) third.

Farcited was a $1.2million purchase for Waterhouse & Bott/Kia Ora/Farnan Partnership/Mt Hallowell Stud from the Bell River Thoroughbreds draft at the MM Gold Coast Yearling Sale last year.

He’s the first foal of Gorup One Galaxy winner I Am Excited, and hails form a family full of genuinely high class females including Group I Thousand Guuineas winner Commanding Jewel, and four time Group I winner and Champion Australian Filly and Champion Australian Older Mare Atlantic Jewel, herself the dam of Hong Kong Champion Russian Emperor.

I Am Excited has a yearling filly by Zoustar which was sadly her last, having died last August.
