Rising Western Australian Open Class star Washakie made it a winning return to racing over the weekend when taking out the Media Guild Cup at Gloucester Park in his first start for the season.
The 5yo Badlands Hanover gelding held the lead from barrier one and never looked back, cruising to the line almost two lengths clear of his nearest rival Capitol V, after running the last mile of the 2,536m race in a swift 1:57.9.
Washakie is now unbeaten in all six starts for trainer Gary Hall and certainly looks in for a big summer. His overall record stands at 17 lifetime wins for close to $200,000 in earnings.
Bred by Big Stone Lodge Ltd, the gelding is the first foal of the six-win OK Bye mare Shoshoni Sunrise.
