Fly My Wey showed he is on track for The Lawn Shed Winter Series Stayers Final at Ellerslie in a fortnight following his win in the Yourride 2100 at the Auckland track on Saturday.
From his ace draw, the seven-year-old gelding was beaten for early speed and was taken back by jockey Jasmine Fawcett to settle four back on the fence, with apprentice jockey Elen Nicholas setting a solid tempo upfront aboard Pacheco.
They had the field strung out for much of the journey, but Fawcett kept her cool on Fly My Wey before improving him around a tiring Bosch with 500m to go.
Turning for home, Fly My Wey had a wall of four horses in front of him, but Fawcett drew him to the outside and he slowly ate into their lead, drawing alongside Drop Of Something with 150m to go and he hit the front shortly after. Race favourite Super Fly came flying home out wide, but Fly My Wey was able to hold off her challenge to win by a long neck.
Fawcett was confident of a bold showing from her charge and she was delighted he was able to deliver.
“It always gives you a big thrill when you think a horse can win and it does,” she said.
His trainer Mark Brosnan was also upbeat about his prospects, however, he did hold concerns about the rain-affected going.
“It was a brave performance,” he said. “I was pretty confident he would go well on his work on Tuesday morning, but I was a bit sceptical that he might not handle the ground, but he did well.”
The Lawn Shed Winter Series Stayers Final (2100m) at Ellerslie in a fortnight now looms as Fly My Wey’s next target, and Brosnan his hoping he can snare the lion’s share of the $70,000 purse.
“He will come back here in two weeks’ time for that bigger race and hopefully he can do it again then,” he said.
A $3,800 purchase via gavelhouse.com in 2020, Fly My Wey is out of the four-win mare Fly Silca Fly and he has now won six and placed in 16 of his 60 starts to date, with earnings north of $290,000.
