Dr Edmund Bateman has been a big player at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale via his agent James Harron in recent years and his two big 2010 purchases Satin Shoes and Foxwedge returned to racing with a bang today.
Anise may have disappointed trainer Peter Snowden earlier in her brief career, but made up for that with a win in the $125,000 Group 3 Kindergarten Stakes (1100m) at the Australian Turf Club's 150th AJC Australian Derby meeting at Randwick on Saturday.
Black Caviar lit up Royal Randwick today, taking her unbeaten streak to a perfect dozen and heading up a trio of stakes wins for Inglis graduates on the card.
Valuable Easter purchases Anise and Foxwedge made impressive winning debuts at Rosehill today, indicating bigger assignments await later in the season.
