TRACK record breaking powerhouse Rejuvenate has been transferred to the kennels of Victorian trainers Brooke and Jamie Ennis.
The gifted son of Hooked On Scotch, which recorded a blistering 29.47 when winning a heat of the Group 1 Silver Chief at The Meadows last December, heads to team Ennis as the winner at 17 of his 22 appearances.
Ironically, it was the Ennis trained Amron Boy which swept to victory in the Silver Chief Final, relegating Rejuvenate to a fifth placed finish after the pair started equal $2.60 favourites for the group 1 showpiece.
Remarkable from ‘Rejuvenate’

Widely considered one of the most naturally gifted sprinters rising through the ranks, Rejuvenate has enjoyed a spectacular start to his career for the Brown family, including a track record run at Shepparton in March, stopping the clock over the 450 metre journey in a remarkable 24.59.
Shepparton was also the scene of his Group 3 Northern Districts Cup (450m) win last November where he roared through the series undefeated.
Such is his ability to record slashing times, all but two of Rejuvenate’s 17 victories have been in the best of the meeting, demonstrating the profound talent the November 2020 whelp – which tips the scales at just under 38kg – possesses.
