ELETTRICA'S STUNNING ACCELERATION CARRIES HER TO A CLEARCUT VICTORY IN THE SUNSHINE COAST CUP

By Graham Potter | Saturday, January 25, 2025

The Richard and Will Freedman trained Elettrica claimed the sixth win of her career when she took no prisoners in the Listed Sunshine Coast Cup, surging away over the concluding stages to score by a decisive 2.30 length margin.

The race was also a triumph for young hoop Bailey Wheeler who made the most of the opportunity offered by the Freedman camp and the celebration on the line showed just how much the result meant to Wheeler, whose confidence was already on a high having won earlier on his two pervious rides on the card.

Elettrica, a $5,50 chance on the third line of betting, jumped well at the break but the wide barrier draw (number 11) was never going to do her any favours.

The decision had been taken in a discussion between Will Freedman and Wheeler on race-day morning not to try and cross the pack of horses that were going to be racing to her inside, which would have complicated Elettrica’s task.

Instead, Wheeler took Elettrica back, slipping all of the way back to thirteenth in the fifteen horse field by the time the field had travelled 1400m.
