Fiorowngood continued his outstanding run of form on Geelong Cup Day, bringing up his fourth consecutive victory in impressive style.
The rise to 2400 metres and a step up in class proved no obstacle for the progressive stayer.
Ridden beautifully by Damien Lane, Fiorowngood began from a wide barrier and was allowed to find his rhythm early. Lane took his time approaching the winning post for the first time before gradually working forward to settle outside the leader.
With the race run at a moderate tempo, Fiorowngood was able to travel comfortably throughout and build into the race at his leisure. He always looked the horse to beat, although the leader proved stubborn and took some getting past. Fiorowngood showcased his staying ability, gradually wearing down the leader before drawing clear to score by one and a half lengths.
Purchased for just $25,000 by the team at Grand Syndicates, Fiorowngood has now banked more than $100,000 in prizemoney, proving that success on the racetrack doesn’t always require a hefty price tag.
Congratulations to the winning connections.
