gavelhouse.com graduate Scooner scored his most significant win to date winning the $70,000 Freight Lines Group Esperance Cup on Sunday for Western Australia-based trainer Stephen Miller.
Off the back of a narrow win at Pinjarra a fortnight earlier, jockey Chris Parnham found cover for the former Chris Waller-trained galloper over Sunday’s 2030m trip and kept him sheltered for a good portion of the event.
As the field travelled around the last bend and into the home straight the American-bred son of Mizzen Mast found his gap and dashed through the field in the last 150m, running clear by a length to win.
Last season the Stephen Miller stable trained 16 winners with Scooner his eighth of the season. Bought from gavelhouse.com for $34,500 in January last year, Scooner has provided a healthy return of $82,960 since his purchase.
Scooner joins Sacred Edge, Chez Dumont and Ballina Bay as winners sold via gavelhouse.com in the past week.
