Fieldelo flies at racetrack return

EXCITING filly Fieldelo has made a statement at her first racetrack appearance in 2025 when the daughter of Deep Field returned with a seven-length victory at Bendigo on Friday.
Keeping intact an unbeaten record which began at Kilmore in November, her owners patience looks set to be rewarded as she clocked a blistering 57.02 for the 1000 metres under Harry Coffey.
“I want to thank Mark Schiavello and all the owners they’ve been unbelievable… she needed a month out and we started again and nobody had anything to say and it’s a credit to them today,” Toby Lake said.
“I felt confident today – she just gives me so much confidence this filly.
“She tried to throw the race away and talent got her there (on debut).
“She’s a much more furnished product this time – I am just pumped.
“We won’t overtax her she’s done a great job and there is plenty of upside.”
Fiedelo will step out in June and look to take the next step to metropolitan level ahead of stakes ambitions before the end of her three-year-old season.
The victory was also pleasingly the first with Harry Coffey for the stable who was naturally impressed with her talent.
“She really let down nicely… I loved the way she quickened at the top of the straight and then she probably idled off and still had the ability to get away from them late,” Coffey said.
The victory capped a good week for the stable with stalwart stayer Dandruff recording his fourth win with a last to first victory first-up at Albury on Tuesday over 2000 metres.
He looked to relish the soft conditions and sets up for a promising winter campaign.
Lake Racing has now trained four winners from the past 20 runners.
