Ballydoyle's form in the Classic trials maintained its formidable momentum on Saturday with a one-two in the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial. At the line, the 4-5 favourite and Ryan Moore's pick Puppet Master had a short head to spare over Stay True in the extended 11-furlong contest, with neither stablemate giving an inch. Camelot's Puppet Master, who had been fourth in the G2 Royal Lodge Stakes and in the G3 Ballysax Stakes on his return, had been forced to battle his way past Stay True, one of the last crop of Galileo, inside the last two furlongs as they pulled 3 1/2 lengths clear of Ghaiyyath's Nightime Dancer.

Coolmore and Westerberg's hitherto unraced Albert Einstein (Wootton Bassett) had received favourable reports in recent dispatches from Ballydoyle and justified his lofty reputation with a TDN Rising Star performance going just shy of six furlongs in Saturday's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Naas. The January-foaled bay's potential was reflected in the betting market and he headed postward as a rock-solid 1-2 favourite for this Royal Ascot stepping stone. Shadowing the pace set by 9-4 market rival Evening Blues (Blue Point) after a professional exit, he quickened smartly to challenge that rival entering the final furlong and easily asserted superiority under minimal urging to hit the line with 1 1/4 lengths to spare. The runner-up finished a whopping 12 lengths clear of the remainder. “He was never away and that's the first time he's come off the bridle,” said Aidan O'Brien. “You can see his size and power and we're delighted with him. He learned a bit today, Ger Lyons's horse [Evening Blues] had a very good run the first day, and we'll see where he fits in. We always thought he was a [G2] Coventry horse and you'd like to get another run into him before [Royal] Ascot.” 3rd-Naas, €18,000, Mdn, 5-10, 2yo, 5f 205yT, 1:12.05, gd.

With just two overmatched rivals in opposition, Aidan O'Brien trainee Giselle's superior form and class told as the daughter of Frankel overcame Lingfield's Epsom-style intricacies, delivering a facile nine-length success in the track's William Hill-sponsored Listed Oaks Trial on Saturday. Last term's G3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes third and 3-10 pick was a shade keen racing third in a first-time hood through the initial stages of this seasonal debut. Negotiating the downhill section and taking closer order in the home straight, she seized control approaching the quarter-mile marker and bounded clear thereafter to easily outclass Harpsichord (Ribchester) by daylight for a career high. O'Brien's two previous winners of the contest include subsequent G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks heroine Seventh Heaven (Galileo).

War Machine (NZ) (Harry Angel) relished the solid tempo as he came from just off the speed to land the Thoroughbred Club of Australia Handicap (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday in comfortable fashion as he booked a trip to Queensland for the winter. It was the New Zealand-bred four-year-old’s first victory from his new quarters with trainers Ben, Will and JD Hayes, after transferring from the stable of the late Michael Moroney and Glen Thompson. Positioned in third throughout under Jamie Mott, War Machine enjoyed the speed set by eventual third-placegetter Oscar’s Fortune (Rich Enuff) and surged to victory in the concluding stages as the $1.90 favourite. “We were a little bit worried about that draw (barrier 10) as to where he would end up, but there were a couple of scratchings this morning, which gave us confidence to run and it just worked out perfectly,” Ben Hayes said. “He was able to slot in, and Jamie Mott gave him an absolute ten out of ten ride and we’re just so fortunate to be given this horse to train and he’s been a pleasure. “He’s been in the system nearly two weeks now and he’s been so straightforward and arrived to us in good condition. “He’s an exciting horse heading up to Queensland now, where we will look at the BRC Sprint (Gr.3, 1400m) in two weeks and hopefully he can get qualified to run in a Stradbroke (Gr.1, 1400m). “From what we’ve seen at home, is a high-quality horse that would be up there with some of our better horses in the yard. “ Bred by MDJ Bloodstock Ltd, War Machine was offered for sale at both the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sales and the Ready To Run Sale via the Wallace family’s Ardsley Stud, but failed to reach his $100,000 reserve on both occasions. By Harry Angel out of the winning Hussonet mare Caserta, the gelding subsequently went into training with Jim Wallace and won his only trial at Foxton by six lengths before his private purchase. With four victories and four placings from 11 starts, War Machine has amassed A$506,010 in prizemoney to date. War Machine’s two-year-old half-brother by Darci Brahma named Vanvitelli (NZ) (Darci Brahma) was also the winner of a recent trial at Waipukurau and has subsequently been sold across the Tasman and will also join the Hayes team. “We actually just bought the half-brother in New Zealand who was a good trial winner, so there’s limited shares available and if you’d like to get in, get in quick,” Hayes said.
