Fun Winner for Spendthrift

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 22
Newgate Farm's flashy grey shuttler The Factor (USA) is not coming to the Hunter Valley this spring, but he did feature at Sandown on Wednesday with an impressive winner carrying the Spendthrift Australia colours.

Fun Fast as a yearlingHandsome grey three year-old colt Fun Fact blitzed his older rivals to race away and win as he pleased over 1600 metres.

Prepared by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Fun Fact was a maiden winner at Newcastle in July, but has thrived since being sent to Melbourne and this was his second win from his past three starts in Melbourne.

Already a winner of nearly $70,000, Fun Fact looks to have more wins in store.

A $240,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Edinburgh Park draft for Spendthrift Australia, Fun Fact was the most expensive yearling from the first Australian crop of The Factor. He is the second winner from stakes-winning Dane Shadow mare Fill the Page.
