All the hard work has been done, he is now ready to go racing.
A half-brother to three Group winners, including Group 1 winner KINGSBARNS, this lightly raced colt arrived in Australia in late-December. He is now in full training at Lindsay Park and should be ready to race at the end of April.
QUARTZ made his race debut in a 1600m Maiden against older horses in Ireland on 27 August 2014. He finished a good 3rd (beaten 2.25 lengths) with a further 3.75 lengths back to fourth. That race turned out to be a very good form Maiden with the winner, SHEMSHAL, running a close third next start in the €150,000 Northfields Handicap, which is one of Ireland's Premier Handicaps, and the runner-up INTISAAB winning at its next start.
QUARTZ then wen to Dundalk where he was a 4/6 favourite in another 1600m Maiden and he duly saluted to give young Donnacha O'Brien (son of Trainer Aidan O'Brien) his first win. QUARTZ settled in a handy postion, and despite being a bit green early in the straight, showed a good turn of foot to run down the leader DUCHESS ANDORRA at the 100m mark and record a comfortable half length win with another 2.75 lengths back to third. DUCHESS ANDORRA franked the form by winning her next start.
Two weeks later he lined up in a 1900m Handicap on the turf (track rated good) in a Handicap against the older horses. He had clearly made significant improvement from his previous two runs and he recorded a comprehensive victory by a widening 6 length margin over the in-form COOLFIGHTER, who had won his previous four starts. QUARTZ handled the rise in distance well, and looks like he will progress further. He is still green and open to further improvement.
