FOXY HEART CLAIMS VICTORY AT WERRIBEE

The four-year-old Foxwedge gelding, Foxy Heart, notched his second career victory with a strong win in the ‘Picklebet’s Perks 0–56 Handicap’ at Werribee.

Rock-hard fit following his fourth run this campaign, the gelding relished the step up to 1400m, delivering a solid performance under jockey Mitch Aitken.

Jumping from barrier seven, the pair settled midfield and travelled comfortably throughout. In a race where the field was well strung out, they made a decisive move approaching the 600m mark to build momentum.

Foxy Heart loomed into contention on the turn and issued a strong challenge in the straight, taking the lead inside the final 150m. Finishing powerfully, he was dominant over the last 50m, pulling away to score by 1.5 lengths.

It was a well-deserved result for a fantastic group of patient connections.
