Thrown straight into the deep end last preparation after breaking his maiden nicely and then following it up with a sensational win at Sandown, Attrition was immediately tested against the best three-year-olds in the CS Hayes Stakes and the Australian Guineas. In both runs, you could argue he was unlucky not to win, once crowded for room and then wide and working before being run down by New Zealand star filly Legarto in the shadows of the post. He was again afforded minimal luck in the PB Lawrence this preparation, forced off the track in a frantically run race, but Freedman will be hoping his fortunes flip this Saturday at The Valley when he tackles the Group 2 Clamms Seafood Feehan Stakes. “It’s really exciting to be putting him in races with some of these quality horses”, Freedman said. MITCH FREEDMAN KNEW HE HARD A SMART COLT ON HIS HANDS SOON AFTER HE HAD BOUGHT HIM AT THE INGLIS PREMIER YEARLING SALE, A $180,000 BUY BACK IN 2021. THE SON OF CHURCHILL WAS VERY POINT AND SHOOT FROM THE WORD GO, AND HIS TRAINER SAYS HIS RISE TO STARDOM IN THE BALLARAT STABLE HAS BEEN RAPID.
