One to Watch – Wyong

Tara Madgwick - Thursday May 13

Champion sire Fastnet Rock has had a very successful season with his two year-olds and posted another eye-catching debut winner at Wyong on Thursday.

The Richard and Michael Freedman trained gelding Park Avenue was easy on the market, but belied the lack of punter’s support to charge home through a narrow gap to score a determined win in the 1100m maiden.
