Horse of the Week: Way We Go

Published: 13 Jul 2015


On the rise - Three-year-old Way We Go is this week's Horse of the Week

 

Not many people missed the win of WAY WE GO on the weekend, streaking away from a competitive field in the All Too Hard @ Vinery Handicap to win by over a length.

It wasn't just the margin that was impressive. He won with arrogance, over-racing out wider on the course before swooping past the pack. A performance worthy of 'Horse of the Week'.

He'll be a popular galloper for lots of punters already, getting back from $9.50 when betting opened last Wednesday to $3.90 at jump time. 

 

Arrogant win - Way We Go was simply too good on the weekend
