When Peter Snowden leaves Darley after the autumn carnival, Agadir may well turn out to be one of the horses he misses most.

The three-year-old stamped himself as a star of the future when he made it three wins from three starts at Warwick Farm on Saturday, overcoming difficulties along the way.

The heavily supported $2.50 favourite in the Vinery Yearlings Handicap (1400m), Agadir was wide and forced even wider on the turn before gathering momentum to score a definitive 1-1/4 length win over Kasiano Lad ($10).

"I thought he'd dropped the bit round the turn and I was worried," stable foreman Brad Widdup said.

"It was a huge effort. He's had a tough run all the way and still done what we hoped.

"We'll weigh things up now but when they are doing things like this we've got to look higher.

"He seems like he will go on and possibly Queensland in the winter is where he could head."

Although he is by Darley stallion Bernadini, Sheikh Mohammed's operation doesn't have many of the sire's progeny in training.

And unusually, Agadir is not a horse retained by Darley but one bought at the Easter sale for $30,000.

"We've only got a handful of Bernadinis but the ones we've got are going well," Widdup said.

"This fellow took time to mature but he certainly looks as if he will get 1600 metres."

The gelding's jockey Kerrin McEvoy said he had been unable to get cover, making Agadir's effort even better.

"He did go wide at the turn and we never had any real cover," he said.

"When he got to the lead at the 200 (metres) it was all still a bit new to him.

"He was very strong and I'm sure he will be given every chance at better races."

Snowden will hand over the Darley reins to John O'Shea on May 1 and begin training with his son Paul.
