Trainer Gary White wasn't expecting Feerique to greet the winners circle this preparation, let alone on  Tasmanias richest race day, but Feerique did so impressively in an 1100m maiden. 

Feerique was ridden by leading Victorian Apprentice Nicholas Hall, who relaxed the filly off the pace in the early stages, before navigating his way through the field to hit the lead over the last few hundred metres and skip away for a comfortable win. 

On returning to scale Hall said 'Thats the way to ride her' referring to the way the filly relished dropping out early, allowing her to come home hard.

Gary White was happy for Feerique to gain the experience of racing in front of a big crowd and amongst a big field as he expected the filly to mature into a top three year old and be racing over the summer carnival come the next season. 

"The filly has benefited from her first few outings and ridden superbly today gave us a glimpse of her potential", he said. 

Gary will look for a suitable race during the Launceston Cup Carnival for Feerique over the next few weeks.
