Snowden puts Spending To Win in right race

Jockey Corey Brown rides Spending To Win to win race 1 at Caloundra
Spending To Win has won the Stanley River Thoroughbreds Plate at Caloundra by more than two lengths.

Sydney galloper Spending To Win again has showed how champion trainer Peter Snowden can pick the right races for his horses with a win at Caloundra.

Spending To Win ($1.90) scored by 2-1/4 lengths to Hirtshals ($19), with a neck to Rebel Miss (&.50) in the Stanley River Thoroughbreds Plate (1000m) on Saturday.

The gelding had won just two of his previous 17 starts but had recorded a further 13 minor placings.

Snowden had been looking at running Spending To Win in a race at Scone until he saw the Caloundra race in the calendar.

“He was a class two horse in a class six race so I knew he would get in with a light weight. In his own class, he has been carrying 60 kilograms plus,” Snowden said.

“It was a perfect race for him. To be honest, if he hadn’t won today I might have been in a bit of trouble with the owners.

“He had been racing well and it was just a matter of getting the right race for him and it looked like his.”

Snowden said Spending To Win would go for a spell with the spring in mind.

Winning jockey Corey Brown said he had a lovely run and while he got to the lead earlier than he wanted, he was never in any danger in the straight.
