Littlebitcheeky delivers for Bobbin
Stawell-based trainer and part-owner Andrew Bobbin is celebrating after Littlebitcheeky notched up its maiden win on Monday.
The New Zealand-bred three-year-old took the honours in race 3 at Donald with Ballarat's Jarrod Fry on board.
By Tivaci and out of Cheex, the filly earned Bobbin and his fellow connections at Grampians Racing top honours in the $27,000 Donald Steel Metaland Maiden Plate over 1620 metres.
My Uncle Did It ran second by 0.1 of a length.
It was the fourth start of Littlebitcheeky's career after a 10th-placed finish at Colac on February 7 and a pair of fifths at Terang on February 28 and March 21.
The win in Donald lifted Littlebitcheeky's total earnings to $17,220.
Grampians Racing snapped up the Kiwi import in the 2023 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, paying $45,000 to Sledmere Stud at Scone, NSW.
Thanks in part to his success with Littlebitcheeky at Donald on Monday, Fry – now in his 18th year in the saddle – is leading the Victorian Country Jockeys' Premiership for 2025.
