Boga Legend breaks maiden in style  Boga Legend ridden by John Allen wins the Adam Sass Takes On Sportsbet Maiden Plate at Sportsbet Pakenham on May 16, 2024 in Pakenham, Australia.  | |  |
It has taken the lightly raced son of Puissance De Lune four starts to break his maiden, perhaps longer than the stable anticipated but he has been ultra consistent in some metropolitan and strong rating maidens.
First up this preparation off some promising trials, Boga Legend ran 2nd in the 3yo 1700m maiden at the Warrnambool carnival, making an enormous run from back in the field, which proved to be very difficult to do so over the carnival.
Coming back slightly to the 1600m and drawing a more suitable gate, Boga Legend burst clear at the top of the long Pakenham straight and put his rivals away in a handful of strides, resulting in a comfortable 3 three-length victory.
Boga Legend’s maiden win included the lucrative Vobis Silver & Gold bonuses, resulting in $44,000 in prize money out of a $40,000 race – a great endorsement for the Vobis system and reward for the ownership group.
It was a great thrill to see Mr Lachlan Holmes-Brown & Mr Nathaniel Holmes-Brown make the drive from Swan Hill to see Boga Legend. A seven hour round trip on a Thursday night is always worth it when you have a win like that.
 Docinthe impresses at Echuca Docinthe ridden by Jarrod Fry returns to scale after winning the Hygain Victory Handicap at Echuca Racecourse on May 03, 2024 in Echuca The son of Cable Bay has been a model of consistency throughout his career and was racing well in the summer months, including being narrowly beaten by less than a length on two of the previous three occasions.
Still being lightly raced, Freedman elected to give Docinthe a little freshen up, utilising the Aqua Treadmill at HSP Equine Centre before returning with an impressive trial and now first up win.
Troy and the team at HSP provide a fantastic service and the Aqua Treadmill is a great tool for horses returning to work, or for those who need a freshen up before returning to the races.
We are very grateful for their work and Docinthe was a favourite of their team, so it is pleasing to see him back in the winners stall. Docinthe found himself with a difficult rating of 61 and somewhat in ‘no man’s land’, between getting a start in the competitive benchmark 64 racing in Victoria, or carrying the weight in a benchmark 58. Fortunately, his classed proved superior at Echuca under the guidance of Jarrod Fry.
Docinthe will be a horse to keep an eye on in the coming months as the Polytrack Racing Season commences later this month. He showed that he can handle the surface, racing well in the winter months last year of his first racing preparation.  | |  |

E: alex@mitchfreedmanracing.com.au Freedman’s second winner at the 2024 Warrnambool May Carnival  Presentation to connections of Ti Tree Lad after winning the Billy “The Butcher” Malady Maiden Plate at Warrnambool Racecourse on May 01, 2024 in Warrnambool, Australia.  | |  |
Being a ‘former local’ training out of Warrnambool and the Primmer family Warrnambool royalty, it was a great thrill for the team to see Ti Tree Lad break his maiden in impressive style at the Warrnambool Carnival.
The Mitch Freedman team have had runners at the carnival for a decade now, including a number of placings and one soul winner being Princess Lou Ling back in 2016. Ti Tree Lad bucked the trend and overcame the unfavourable conditions on the day, saluting by one and quarter lengths.
As always at the ‘Bool, there was a big tip going around the betting ring and this one was coming straight from the trainers mouth.
“I was very confident that he could come to the Warrnambool Carnival and be really competitive. It’s a great thrill to be winning down here and I couldn’t be happier to win a race in the colours of my good friend Josh Julius.”
Post race Freedman acknowledged the passing of Josh’s grandmother, in what certainly was a special moment for the family to see their colours winning.
Congratulations to the connections of Ti Tree Lad, many who are first time owners with our team. Ti Tree Lad looks to be a horse with a very bright future and is certainly one to keep in the black book. For personalised merchandise click here  |
