GENETIC FREAK FLIES AGAIN
Friday, 20 Sep 2024
GENETIC FREAK scored his second win from just five starts for new trainer Adam Campton and continued our recent winning run with a hard-fought victory at Ipswich on Thursday.
With talented apprentice Bailey Wheeler in the saddle for the first time, the 5YO finished with a withering burst to defy the odds-on favourite by the narrowest of margins in a bob of the heads right on the line.
Eight days on from a creditable performance at Doomben, GENETIC FREAK stepped out again in the Class 5 Plate (1350m) and promptly registered the fourth win of his career.
After jumping smartly from the wide gate, the son of Shalaa settled midfield before making his move at the 200-metre mark.
In the tightest of finishes, GENETIC FREAK got his nose down right on the line to carry his earnings past $125,000 and make it two wins and a second from just five starts since we purchased him through the Inglis Digital Online sale earlier this year.
“He went super,” said Wheeler.
“He bounced out nicely and even though we were caught wide in a slowly run race, I just wanted to keep him in a nice rhythm. He was very tough and really game, and I liked his determination to win today. He really wanted it which is a good sign going forward.”
Many congratulations to our partners: Mr S F Wood, Strong Bloodstock G F, Mr D Lee, Mr J Compton, Mr T C Scott, Mr T A Gale, Mr P S Dhillon, Mr S L McAlister, Mr C S Thomas, Coffey Bloodstock, Mr B Howell, Smash Crew Racing, Mr D Byron, Mr A S Gage, Mr J Chapman, Mr P S Gage, Mr M Bradstock, Mr M Byron and Mr A R Madigan.
