Lightly raced 4year-old Yoomee Wonder broke her maiden in style, winning the Fillies & Mares 1200m maiden on the first day of the Swan Hill carnival.
Yoomee Wonder is a beautiful, big daughter of Flying Artie who was purchased out of the Inglis Classic sale, the same year as Skybird but has taken some time to put it all together.
After an eye-catching 2nd at Murray Bridge last start, Yoomee Wonder was able to travel strongly in behind the speed, as the race came on, she put her rivals away in a matter of strides, flashing clear at the 200m mark in a classy maiden win. John Allen said post-race “she is a nice filly who looks like she will go on with the job. She was a bit green when she hit the front but will improve with more racing under her belt.”
Freedman said post-race “We have always liked this filly. whilst we have had to wait until her 4year-old year to be at the races, she is well experienced now and hardened to go on with the job.”
The Swan Hill carnival is one of the great Victorian carnivals and it’s always great to have a winner at carnival time. The Freedman team has had a winner at two of the past three carnivals and it was fantastic to continue this trend with Yoomee Wonder!
Congratulations to all involved.
