Faaltless debuts in Sydney
Our outstanding winter galloper Faaltless will debut at Rosehill in Sydney on Saturday. The winner of 6 of his last 11 starts he is on the rise and deserves a shot at good prize money.
A number of factors led to this decision. The first is that Faaltless (or Tommy as he is known) is at his best on loose wet ground and these should be the conditions he strikes in Sydney over the next couple of months. The second was the lack of opportunities for him over the next few weeks. He would either have to travel a considerable distance within New Zealand or run on very deep tracks, which isn’t to his liking.
The final factor was that he was rated 82 in Sydney, which gives us a number of race options for him. The first of those is on Saturday where he will carry 59 kilos in a Benchmark 80 1350 metres worth A$70,000. His performance in this will determine his next start which will be on either the 18th or 25th of June.
His goal will be the Triton Handicap over 1800 metres on the 9th of July at Randwick. With three runs under his belt we will then decide whether to leave him in Sydney or bring him back to New Zealand for the Winter Cup on the 6th of August.
Shane Marr has travelled with him and continues to be his trainer."
