Livalittle beats odds at Eagle Farm

Model professional Livalittle overcame a troubled run at Eagle Farm to add to his impressive record.

Our homebred and raced five-year-old didn’t get the rub of the green but showed his quality to get himself out of trouble and find the line best at the end of a torrid 1600 metres.

“He was in a beautiful spot early on and then for one reason or another a horse came back in his face and he lost his position,” trainer Tony Gollan said.

Livalittle was on the move to make up lost ground near the turn and produced a sustained finishing bid in the hands of Daniel Moor to take his record to six wins and six placings from 14 appearances.

“He really wants to win this horse, and he’s destined for much better races,” Gollan said.

The chestnut is out of the Thorn Park mare Hayley Grace from the of two-time top-flight winner Te Akau Shark and the G1 Easter Handicap winner Pondarosa Miss.

Livalittle is a half-brother to three winners, including Hello Youmzain’s daughter Hello Hayley who claimed a Listed double last season in the Dunedin Guineas and Southland Guineas.
