Daily Debutants

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday December 26
The Daily Debutants list for Boxing Day features loads of interesting runners including youngsters by first season sires such as Brazen Beau, Deep Field and Dissident but a colt by Fastnet Rock from a leading stable has popped up at the Geelong meeting and might be well worth keep an eye on.

Fastnet RockA homebred for Robert Crabtree’s Dorrington Farm, the Hayes Dabernig trained Viking Warrior is the last foal of outstanding producer Scandinavia, who turned 24 this year.

A Group II winning daughter of Snippets, Scandinavia has had nine foals to race and seven are winners headed by Group I winner and sire Magnus, Group II winners Wilander and Scandiva (also by Fastnet Rock) and stakes-winner Arctic Flight.

One of her unraced daughters is Helsinge, the dam of champions Black Caviar and All Too Hard.

It's not uncommon for the Lindsay Park team to start off talented two year-olds at the provincials so Viking Warrior might be getting ready for better things.
