The River emerged as one of the new stars of Western Australian racing when he stormed to victory in Sunday's $250,000 Magic Millions WA 2YO Classic at Pinjarra.
The son of Magnus made it two wins from three starts when he beat a crack field to win the rich juvenile event by a length and give trainer Trevor Andrews his fourth win in the race.
The River was purchased by Andrews for $115,000 at last year's Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale from the draft of Western Breeders Alliance on behalf of his breeders the Atwell family's Darling View Thoroughbreds.He debuted with a strong win on January 9 after a couple of trial wins and then was narrowly beaten at his most recent start when gunned down by stablemate Trademark at Ascot on January 23.
The River is one of four winners from four to race for the Perth two-year-old winning Real Jester mare Jestceny.Jestceny is doing a great job at stud having already produced three city performers from as many runners including the stakes perfomer Jestpatim.
The latest yearling from Jestceny, a colt by first season sire Your Song, will be offered early in this year's Perth Yearling Sale - as Lot 3.Meanwhile Not A Single Doubt has another stakes winning star filly after Let it Slip added more black type victory to her record when she scored a stunning win in the $150,000 Magic Millions WA 3YO Trophy at Pinjarra.
Let it Slip provided trainer Ben Pearce and jockey Jarrad Noske with their second wins in the Magic Millions 3YO feature. Pearce won with Testamezzo in 2014, while Noske won it a year earlier aboard Express Service.From just eight starts to date Let it Slip boasts three wins and three minor placings from just eight starts. Her two black type victories have helped her earnings soaring past $230,000.
Let it Slip is the first winner to date for the Sydney winning and well related General Nediym mare Oopsy Doopsy.She was bred by Dr Chris Gales and sold through the draft of Gervase Park Stud for $130,000 at the 2014 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale.
A winner of four races, Oopsy Doopsy is a blood sister to Red Hot Mama the stakes winning dam of Mama's Choice and half sister to the stakes performed Little Bit Ditsy.
