  • Stonestreet's Amen Corner Debuts

    Wednesday, 24th February 2021

    Purchased for $750,000 from the draft of Bhima Thoroughbreds at the 2020 Magic Millions Yearling Sale by Stonestreet Stables, the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Amen Corner (I Am Invincible-Augusta Proud, by More Than Ready) is one of seven juveniles set to make their debut in Wednesday's ANZ Bloodstock News Plate (1000m) at Gosford. With three barrier trials under her belt in readiness, leading jockey Tommy Berry has taken the ride and, from barrier 2, should be able to get a cosy run. A half-sister to the Gr3 Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes winner Thyme For Roses (Redoute's Choice), Amen Corner is a daughter of the dual Group 3 winner Augusta Proud, an exceptional juvenile who not only won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on the Gold Coast, but at the start prior won the Magic Millions Adelaide 2YO Classic – all in all from her seven starts at two, the filly was successful in her first six. While the race does look very open due to the amount of unraced runners, it is the Chris Waller-trained Prasiolite (Written Tycoon-Jade Marauder, by Fastnet Rock) for Ingham Racing who currently holds sway off the back of a recent barrier trial second behind impressive debut winner Four Moves Ahead (Snitzel), who looks set to take her place in Saturday's Gr2 Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m).
