Melbourne, September 22 – Seven year-old gelding Veewap continues to race in great heart, powering clear to win the 1400 mere open handicap at Caulfield on Saturday by three-quarters of a length.
The Tony Vasil trained son of Lonhro was having his third run back from a spell and charged home to score a good win with Damien Oliver in the saddle.
Sporting the renowned red, black and white colours of the late syndicator Harry Lawton, Veewap was snapped up from the draft of Yarraman Park at the 2007 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale for $110,000 and has won nine races and placed 10 times from 42 starts earning $357,743.
Bred by Tim Hughes, Veewap has an impressive pedigree being a half-brother to Group II winner So Gorgeous and Group III winners Wild Queen and Cumbria from the top class producer Crowning Jewel, who is now retired from stud duties.
