Lightly-tried four-year-old So Unusual continued his roll good form when successful in the Shaun Morris Handicap (2400m) at Sandown on Saturday, advancing his career record to three wins from six starts.
The son of Unusual Suspect was a winner at Woodville for Fraser Auret in April last year and has made a good impression with two wins from four starts from his new quarters with Tony and Calvin McEvoy.
The gelding was roared home by a vocal group of owners, with jockey Dean Holland sporting the silks of My Racehorse, a micro-share syndicatior.
“It is a bit of a mosh pit behind me, but it is great to have another winner with the My Racehorse team and there are also some really loyal owners in this horse as well,” stable representative Rayan Moore said.
“Credit must go to Phill Cataldo (bloodstock agent) who found this horse in New Zealand. He put it to us and we were very taken by him. Tony said ‘let’s get this done’ and I think there is plenty of upside.
“It was a ten out of ten ride and Dean was very patient. He knew what he had under him and he was very excited to be on this horse as he trialled him at Murtoa.
“I think the mile and a half is his go at this stage, but there are a couple of Cups down in Tassie that could be options. I think next preparation we will have an even better horse.” – NZ Racing Desk
