Vandancer gives Boss a timely Sandown win

Glen Boss has made the most of his only ride at Sandown to guide Vandancer to victory.

Boss has been finding it hard to get rides in Melbourne and is leaving for Singapore when his work visa is processed.

“For some reason it can take a bit of time to come through from over there,” he said.

Boss guided Vandancer to victory in the Polytrack Handicap (2100m) for Mike Moroney on Wednesday and labelled the filly a promising stayer.

“It was a moderate race but she’s lightly raced and is open for quite a deal of improvement,” he said.

“I think there’s a very good engine there underneath her but she’s just got to get the strength to go with it.”

Moroney said Vandancer had possibly earned a tilt at either next month’s Australasian Oaks at Morphettville or the Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm in June.

“They are only three once so we’ll have a crack at one of the Oaks race somewhere,” he said.

Vandancer provided Moroney with a race-to-race double after Loyalty Man took out the Ladbrokes Handicap.

Loyalty Man could also join Moroney’s travelling team, heading north for a shot at the Queensland Guineas on June 11.

Moroney said Loyalty Man had a few tricks but they were slowly being ironed out on the training track.

“He’s out of a Group One-winning mare that was a sprinter, but he’s looked more of a mile-plus sort of horse,” Moroney said.

“If we do decide to take him up there it would be for the Guineas, or a similar sort of race.”

Loyalty Man’s apprentice jockey Jake Bayliss landed his 20th metropolitan winner and will have his claim reduced to 2kg after Saturday’s Caulfield meeting.

However he had his day soured with a $500 whip breach for being one strike over before the 100m aboard Loyalty Man.

Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne was suspended for 11 meetings on a careless riding charge while apprentice Dylan Dunn was fined $300 for not claiming his full 2kg allowance aboard Claudia Jean in the Grand Hotel Frankston Handicap.
