Warmonger, 3yo gelding by War Decree joined the Price/Kent team early this year as an import from New Zealand. A trial winner from the South Island, he showed early talent as the half-brother to Group 1 place-getter Blue Solitaire (NZ 1,000 Guineas).
After arriving in Australia, the gelding enjoyed a short break before commencing his training in preparation for a spring campaign. He finished 2nd in is third trial over 990m at Cranbourne last week. Ridden by Beau Mertens, he commented “He still has a bit to learn, but improved again from his last trial. The blinkers definitely help him.”
Watch his full trial here.
The 3yo is now off to the races, making his debut at Seymour over 1425m. Expected to take good improvement from the race, trainer Mick Price wouldn’t be surprised to see a positive showing first up.

Best of luck to all connections of the debutant.
