Brad Widdup trained mare The Halo won in impressive fashion at Wyong (18th Jan) over the 1350m, ending a run of bad luck that has plagued the 4year old More Than Ready mare. Brett Prebble gave her a perfect ride where she jumped cleanly, settled well, and then put the foot down when asked in the straight and drew away from the rest of the field winning by 4 lengths.
Tricolours Racing Director James Moss said "I thought her first-up run this prep at Gosford finishing 4th was excellent, so it was great to see her finally get some luck today. I have always been a big believer in this filly but from the start of her career, nothing has gone her way. Finally now is her time to shine."
Plans are currently being made for her next race start, and the Tricolours team is very hopeful that she is in for a successful prep.
