Faaltless continued his march toward the Group 3, 1600 meter Winter Cup at Riccarton on the 7th of August with a 2 1/4 length win at Ashburton on Sunday over 1400 meters.
The win was his 4th from his last 5 starts and was impressive as he gave the leader an 8 length start as they approached the home turn. He has formed a winning partnership with Robbie Hannam and he responded as soon as Robbie asked him to quicken and won in a time of 1.23.96, a fast time for a slow track.
Faaltless is now to a rating of 85 points which may put him on the margin for a start in the Winter Cup, but he has one more opportunity before then to increase his rating when he races in the Winter Cup trial at Marlborough on the 25th of July over 1400 meters.
Faaltless is raced by the Raceit To Run syndicate which has shown great patience in the horse and a belief that the raw ability he has shown will be brought out by trainer Shane Marr. They are being well rewarded now.
