Winlock Way Out wins again at Gunnedah to add to impressive young career
Winlock Way Out is proving to be a serious up and comer with another impressive win at Gunnedah on Thursday night.
On his first look at the Gunnedah 431m trip last week, some online bookmakers had the Michelle Johnson-trained dog paying +220 as starting favourite.
He would hit the lead with a clean jump from the box five, and take the win by just under a length, despite a challenge from the fast-finishing Rocky Banner, in a time of 24.94 best-of-day.
