Dead Heat at Pakenham – 2YO Winners for Brutal and Brave Smash

Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 22

A dead heat in a competitive juvenile maiden at Pakenham on Thursday evening produced a fourth winner for Newgate Farm’s Brutal, but Barbaric Lad had to share the spoils as he hit the line at the exact same time as Brave Smash (Jpn) filly She Smashes.

Both horses were having their second start, the Anthony and Sam Freedman trained Barbaric Lad coming off a debut third to Flyer at Sandown, while the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman trained She Smashes was third on debut at Pakenham at the start of the month.

She Smashes looked the winner with a furlong to run, but Barbaric Lad surged late to put his head next to hers on the line with the judge declaring a dead heat in the 1200m juvenile maiden.

 

Bred by Nick Vass, Barbaric Lad was a $210,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Anthony Freedman Racing/Julian Blaxland Bloodstock (FBAA)/Roll The Dice Racing/Rogers Bloodstock and is the first winner for Janast, an unraced Redoute’s Choice daughter of stakes-winner Booklet.

Newgate sold a North Pacific filly from Janast at Magic Millions this year for $220,000 to Peachester Lodge and she is now in foal to State of Rest (IRE) after producing a filly by Home Affairs.

She Smashes was a $100,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Two Bays Farm draft for Moody Racing and is the third winner from three to race from Blue Ocean, a winning half-sister by Fastnet Rock to stakes-winner Little Surfer Girl, the dam of $7.5million earning triple Group I winner Fangirl.
