It came from an awesome surge in the straight on the Kensington racing circuit by a debut juvenile filly by the name of Solar Charged.

Bred at Twin Palms, Lochinvar by her eminent owner Peter Horwitz and trained at Randwick by John O'Shea, she lived up to her name and speed genes by coming from the widest gate to record a dominant five lengths win in class record time.

Solar Charged is in the second crop of the Arrowfield stud based Red Ransom sprint star Charge Forward, a winner of the AJC The Galaxy and a neck second in the Golden Slipper, and is from a Danehill mare out of a Listed winner by Golden Slipper winner Sir Dapper, sire also of the dam of Testa Rossa.

Also possibly helping to make Solar Charged sparkle is the sire of his fourth dam Vol Power, a winner of 13 sprint races.

A Victorian imported son of breed shaper Royal Charger who was a smart 1000m performer in England, he was named Power House and he was a transmitter of speed.

One of Power House's daughters produced an Australian queen of speed in the Showdown mare Dual Choice. She won 16 races (14 stakes) in 28 outings including the MRC Oakleigh Plate twice, Caulfield Guineas, VRC Craven ‘A' Stakes, Lightning Stakes, Sires' Produce Stakes, MVRC William Reid Stakes and Freeway Stakes - twice.

A three-quarter brother to Nasrullah, Power House's sire Royal Charger, is a dominant force on the top line of the pedigree of Charge Forward. It comes down through his strongest branch,Turn-to, Hail to Reason, Roberto and Charge Forward's Vinery stud used world class sire Red Ransom.

Solar Charged was one of two dashing juvenile winners on the day by Red Ransom sires, the other being the Alan Bailey trained Marking Time, a winner by 2.3 lengths at Eagle Farm.

Successful by 2.5 lengths at the Gold Coast the previous Saturday, Marking Time is by Markane, a Red Ransom half-brother to Just Awesome and to the dams of Group 1 winners Onemorenomore (also by Red Ransom) and Casino Prince standing at the McAlpine's Eureka stud at Cambooya, Darling Downs.

The success of Markane could add to the confidence of the McAlpine's in their young Red Ransom sire Red Dazzler, a multiple Group1 performer out of the Danehill mare Vain Hill strongly represented by his first crop yearlings in the catalogue for next month's Gold Coast sale.

Red Dazzler could benefit from mares bred on similar lines to Marking Time's dam Legal Tune, one bred on a cross of Eureka stud used sires, Piccolo (shuttled from England) and Sermipalatinsk.
