Smart WInners Put A Spring In O'Shea's Step
Saturday, 19 August 2006:  | | Fast 'N' Famous | O'Shea's promising four-year-olds Sugarbomb and Fast 'N' Famous won the first two races to set themselves on a climb up the class ladder during the spring.
Sugarbomb was too slick for her rivals over 1100m at her first outing since April, taking her record to four wins from 12 starts.
Fast 'N' Famous has now won three of his five starts and the manner of his win, also over 1100m, indicates that he is going to make his mark in better company.
He raced keenly outside the leader before sprinting to a winning break.
The stylish Bart Cummings-trained mare Danasierra made a strong return to racing with her second, running home hard from the off the pace to be beaten only a long neck as the winner was tiring on the line.
The O'Shea pair both started as odds on favourites and ran identical time of 1.04.87 for the 1100m on the first good track for a Sydney meeting since May.
