Former
classy filly Lovemelikearock featured at Gosford on Thursday with her first
winner when two year-old New Approach (IRE) filly Fifty Ways charged home late
to snatch a narrow victory.
Prepared by Anthony Cummings, Fifty Ways had trialled only once previously beating
one runner home, but produced a good effort on race day to emerge a winner in
the 1000 metre fillies maiden.
Retained to race by her breeders, who include Anthony Cummings and Duncan
Grimley, who also raced her mother, Fifty Ways will be entered for Black Type
races over the Randwick carnival.
A Group III winning daughter of champion sire Fastnet Rock, Lovemelikearock was
sold at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale last year for $320,000 to the China
Horse Club.
She produced a colt by Snitzel for her new owners last spring and is now in foal to
Newgate Farm's Australian Horse of the Year Dissident.
The current yearling from Lovemelikearock, a filly from the last crop of Street
Cry (IRE), will be offered by Glastonbury Farm at the Inglis Australian Easter
Yearling Sale next month as Lot 389.
