Faaltless trials well ahead of the Winter Cup

Faaltless had his last hit out yesterday at Oamaru ahead of this Saturdays Group 3 Winter Cup at Riccarton.

He finished 2nd in The Jack Foley Waitaki River Trophy over 1400 metres, making impressive ground from the back of the field on a day where there was a significant on pace and on fence bias. He had a blow after the race, so the race should be a big assist to his preparation ahead of this Saturday.

He has been well placed and brought through the grades by Shane Marr and gets into the Winter Cup field on the minimum of 52 kilograms. It is a tough step up for him on Saturday as he is racing against tough and proven group gallopers, but he deserves his place in the field.
Robbie Hannam has been his regular jockey throughout this campaign and sticks with him for the big race."
