By Ben Caluzzi Prix De Turn was bought for just $47,500 at the 2020 Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale. After winning the Group 2 DCE Alister Clark Stakes at the end of his last preparation ($750,000), he’s already taken his career earnings to a whopping $556,900 – more than eleven times his sale price. Following an encouraging runners-up effort on debut at Sandown, he was thrown straight into the deep end by his 28-year-old trainer Matthew Brown. He contested the Caulfield Guineas and Carbine Club Stakes at starts two and three, and has really delivered on those lofty opinions in the Autumn when winning two races in impressive fashion. Given the stable name ‘Rolex’ due to his flashy looks and impressive physique, the son of three-time Group 1 winner Turn Me Loose is certainly living up to that name and that Group 2 success could keep him a colt for longer than first thought. “He was sort of on the borderline at the time of whether he was going to stay a colt or not,” Brown said on Monday. “Obviously, that was his prep to show that he warrants staying a colt – and for now, he has done just that.” ROLEX READY TO ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET THIS SPRING
