Melbourne, May 23 – Progressive Lonhro four year-old Veewap has been in career best form this preparation for Tony Vasil and graduated to open company at Caulfield on Saturday with a dominant victory over 1400 metres.
Considered most unlucky when slowly away at his previous run and beaten a nose, punters rallied to Veewap sending him out favourite for this assignment.
He justified that confidence travelling midfield for Peter Mertens before powering home to win by more than a length in a polished display.
Sporting the renowned red, black and white colours of the late syndictator 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 five races and placed seven times from 16 starts earning $126,855 in prizemoney.
Veewap has an impressive pedigree being a half-brother to Group Two winner So Gorgeous and Group Three winners Wild Queen and Cumbria from the top class producer Crowning Jewel, who is now retired from stud duties.
