Trainer, Len Morton, jockey Shaun O’Donnell and Bletchley Park mare, Flight Path, launched the Magic Millions Perth 3YO Trophy series in 2009.
Flight Path, a $100,000 purchase from the Anita Vale Stud draft, defeated Brava Fortune by ¾ of a length with Almohad finishing a close third.
Flight Path was of 15 starters in the inaugural race.
TRAINERS
Dan Morton joined his father on the Magic Millions 3YO Trophy honour list when Red Ora outpointed Fire Born and Rommel (2015).
Red Ora, a son of Due Sasso, was purchased by a bunch of Aquinas schoolmates headed by Gray Williamson from Mungrup Stud for a modest sum.
The Magic Millions 3YO Trophy completed a quintet of winners for Red Ora, who made his debut at Ascot over 1000m in 2014.
Dan Pearce has won the 3YO feature twice, more than any other trainer, following the wins of Let It Slip (2016) and Testamezzo (2014).
Dan’s brother, Ben, has a genuine chance to add another family chapter to Magic Millions 3YO Trophy with Enchanted Dream.
Neville Parnham has played a prominent role in the race, winning it previously with Playing God (2011) and placing with Rommel (2015), Lenience (2014) and Brava Fortune (2009).
Simon Miller enjoyed a stellar Magic Millions in 2012, winning the double after Darlington Abbey took out the 2YO Classic and Night War the 3YO Trophy.
Parnham and Miller will attempt to catch Pearce as dual winners on the Magic Millions 3YO Trophy board with four runners combined.
Parnham goes into the race with Next Generation, Jazari and outstanding filly, Ellicazoom.
Miller hopes rest with Swedish Memories.
