Cambridge trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman were buoyed by Aegon’s 1200m trial victory at Matamata on Tuesday ahead of his tilt at the Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie later this month.
The Group One-winning three-year-old sat in the trail behind Mannie’s Power before jockey Leith Innes asked him to improve at the 400m mark, and he ran away to a comfortable half-length victory.
His trainers were pleased with the hit-out and the way he was able to trial handier to the speed.
“He was still half a length slow out, but I guess the intention was to ride him a bit closer and obviously you can’t give them the start in big fields as you go up in grade against better horses,” Forsman said.

The couple bred and share in the ownership of Bold Iris, who capped off two good minor placings with a deserved maiden success in a 3-year-old maiden race over 1200m.
