Warrnambool Wrap Day 2: Frankie Pinot takes out Wangoom Handicap, Saunter Boy grinds home in Galleywood Hurdle

After local trainer Symon Wilde dominated on the opening day of the Warrnambool carnival, Day 2 saw another stacked card headlined by the 1200m Wangoom Handicap. 

'The Bool' would host 10 races once again on Wednesday, with a few maiden races setting the scene early in the day before some of the major events. 

Once Were Lost got up at $16 odds with TAB to claim the BM120 steeplechase over 3450m, holding off the more fancied duo of Elvison and Cheners. 

Bet on the racing with TAB.

Odds-on favourite Saunter Boy won the Galleywood Hurdle in a thrilling three-way finish, holding off St Arnnica and Out And Dreaming by a narrow margin. The trio all went together at the final jump before Steve Pateman was able to get the favourite home for the Maher/Eustace stable despite the top-weight of 70.5kg. 

What a race!

The feature race - the Listed Wangoom Handicap over 1200m - was won by Frankie Pinot from the McEvoy stable, holding off last year's winner Inn Keeper to win by half a length.
