Deep Field featured last Friday with a striking debut two year-old winner in Bases Loaded, who saluted at Randwick for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable.
Ridden by Tim Clark, he sat outside the leader and forged clear after turning for home to win the 1100m maiden by half a length.
Bases Loaded is the eleventh 2yo winner from Tulloch Lodge this season and continues the phenomenal run of success for the consortium led by Newgate Farm and China Horse Club.
“I’m most pleased for connections, Henry Field and Newgate Farm and the team they have around them,” Adrian Bott said.
“They have some lovely colts, and we are in the great position of having the opportunity with some fantastic horseflesh.
“He’s a lovely big strong colt. I was happy when there was a bit of pressure early because I thought he was the type that could absorb that pressure.
“I knew he would be tough late on at track that suits him, and he has a lot of upside.”
A $290,000 pinhook by Hunter Valley Bloodstock from the Rushton Park draft at the 2021 Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale, Bases Loaded made an even $400,000 to the bid of China Horse Club / Newgate Bloodstock / Starlight, when consigned by Tyreel Stud to the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.
Bred by Willaroon Thoroughbreds, Bases Loaded is a half-brother to stakes-placed Shebringzit and is is the second winner from three to race out of the unraced Not A Single Doubt mare Passarelle.
Passarelle is a half-sister to Group II WATC Lee Steere Stakes winner Silverstream, Group III AJC Adrian Knox Stakes winner Speedy Natalie, and dual Listed stakes winner Calanda.
Russian Revolution added a sixth two year-old winner this season to his tally when the Chris Bieg trained filly Dubenenko score a length and a half win at Morphettville on Saturday as favourite.
Russian Revolution has had a flurry of winners in recent weeks highlighted by two new 2YO stakes-winners in Red Resistance and The Instructor. As a result, he has surged to the top of the second season sires list by winners and earnings with 30 winners of $3.1million.
