An A1 ride from Tahlia Hope settled Atahu just behind the hot speed, where she was able to switch off and get the run of the race. Approaching the turn, she had the trail of the eventual second placegetter which brought her right into the race and within the final furlong she showed a dazzling turn of foot, winning by 2.5lengths eased down, ears pricked on the line.
Atahu has always possessed the ability to win races and in her second start for Mitch Freedman, she put it all together, with a dominant 2.5length win at 80-1. Following some below-par performances, it was very pleasing to see the ownership group rewarded for their patience with the filly and their trust in the Mitch Freedman team.

Vagrant had an incredible first campaign, winning on debut as a two-year-old against the older horses at the Swan Hill carnival before going on to be stakes placed in Adelaide and continuing deep into the Spring, beaten only 3lengths in the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes.
Freedman felt his talented filly had plenty of improvement to come, opting to give her a break instead of pushing onto the Group 1 Thousand Guineas. He was right, she come back a stronger, more complete horse.

It has been a long road for the son of Dissident and his connections, Freedman’s patient approach for the horses has paid dividends with the consistent gelding earning a well-deserved break through.
He was a $50,000 Melbourne Premier purchase from Supreme Thoroughbreds and has a loyal group of owners who are always there to cheer him on, rail hail or shine. Included in the ownership group is prominent racing journalist’s Damien Ractliffe syndicate ‘NEXT GEN OF RACING’ who are a group of young, like-minded individuals with an interest to get involved in racing, we are thrilled to have a winner for the group.
