In Faith's Win Reminiscent Of His Sire |

Tony McEvoy the Australian trainer of Keep The Faith during the stallions’ spectacular, but short career always believed he was destined for stardom.  In Faith As Tony stated “Keep The Faith was an exceptional galloper with the most amazing action ever. It was no surprise when he went to the USA and broke the 6 furlong National Turf record. I am very confident he will prove the real deal as a stallion.” Yesterday’s winner for the David Hayes stable managed by Tony McEvoy was In Faith a 2YO brown colt from the Anabaa mare Energy Source. The colt is raced by the very successful partnership of Peter Devitt, Les Gordon and David Hayes who also bred the colt. Tony mentioned that the stock they have had in work by Keep The Faith have great rhythm, balance and very economical actions. The stable felt that In Faith was not ready to win yet and that there is a lot of improvement to come, so the win was considered a great bonus. In Faith showed electrifying pace early to lead clearly before being steadied to the turn, before he kicked away for an emphatic win.  In Faith The 2YO SAJC Caroma Plate of $31,000 represents the first race win for a youngster by Keep The Faith and half-way up the straight he looked likely to get the quinella. Unfortunately, Ambling a 2YO bay or brown filly from Ambola had a very tough run three wide facing the breeze. After dropping back on the turn she sprinted hard on straightening and raced clear of the rest into second spot. The effort told and she weakened late to come home in 4th place. Her turn ridden more conservatively is just around the corner. (IR)
