EXTREME FREEDOM CUTS LOOSE ON HIS HOME TRACK
Sunday, 11 Aug 2024
EXTREME FREEDOM continued his love affair with his home track as he returned to form in some style at Kembla Grange on Saturday.
The son of Turn Me Loose had compiled three wins from his eight starts at Kembla prior to Saturday’s Benchmark 64 Handicap (1400m), and promptly improved that impressive record with another home success.
The application of blinkers switched the big boy on, as he really knuckled down to his task in the closing stages under the urgings of Robbie Downey.
The one-length win marked a spectacular turnaround in fortunes for EXTREME FREEDOM, who had finished last at his previous start but clearly does his best work on top of the ground.
It also justified the faith shown in him by his trainers, with some of his owners enjoying a nice collect after Luke Price gave the $18 shot a very strong each-way push ahead of the race.
The fifth win of his career carried the 5YO’s earnings close to $140,000, many congratulations to all our partners: Strong Bloodstock Acute, Maxon, The Speculators, Mr J G Byrne, Mr D Condon, Mr X Rigotti, Mr M A Spagndo, Mr J D Johnston, K C M B, Shouldwegeta, Mr A R Beresford, Mr T J Webster, Mr M J O'neil, Mr R Cutrie, Mr A J Straney, Mr A Nunan, Mr M P Dignam, Mr B L Clarke and Last Minute Club.
