Runaway Winner for Fiorente

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 26

A promising staying prospect by Melbourne Cup hero Fiorente (IRE), lightly raced four year-old Melody Man opened his account with a runaway win at Murray Bridge on Wednesday as a short priced favoruite.

Trained by Jake Stephens and ridden by Todd Pannell, Melody Man was placed at his first two starts and showed the benefit of those outings to power away and win the 1800m maiden by nearly five lengths.

Retained to race, Melody Man is the first foal from stakes-placed Keep the Faith mare Extra Virgin, who was covered again by Fiorente last spring.

The Sun Stud based son of Monsun has had a winning start to the season with recent metropolitan winners Black Duke, Shandy and Don’t Doubt Dory among his eight winners since August 1.

Fiorente

Fiorente stands at a fee of $17,600.
