Sweet And Speedy continues Moody win spree

Saturday 21 February 2015, 3:20pm

Peter Moody has trained a 27,000-1 treble in consecutive Flemington races, capped off with Sweet And Speedy's victory in the Group Three Vanity.

Moody's winning spree on Saturday started with Pasadena Girl ($61) before Sir John Hawkwood ($26) claimed his first Australian win.

Sweet And Speedy ($17) completed the treble at "ridiculous odds", according to Moody.

He said the filly, a daughter of Street Cry, was on a path to the ATC Australian Oaks at Randwick on April 11.

Coming from near last for jockey Craig Newitt, Sweet And Speedy finished too well for VRC Oaks winner Set Square ($10) to score by a long neck with the $2 favourite Wawail in third place.

"She's been going tremendous," Moody said.

"Her win at Sandown was fantastic and I think she's well and truly a quality filly."

He said he had some decisions to make whether to give her another run in Melbourne or head straight to Sydney.

"She's not a gross filly and she won't need a lot of racing," Moody said.

"We'll probably run in the Vinery before the Oaks but she'll need something before those two, but I'll decide that in the coming weeks."

Now based in Singapore, Newitt was in the right spot and the right time when he picked up the ride on Sweet And Speedy after doctors stood down Luke Nolen.

"It was a leisurely run race but she finished it off well," Newitt said.

Michael Walker, who rode the favourite Wawail, said the filly was waiting for the opposition after finding the lead early in the race.

"I need to ride her quiet and let her finish off," Walker said.
