Another win for Frankie Falzoni

Consistent pacer Frankie Falzoni has proven to be a good money spinner for Broadmarsh harness racing trainer Chris Howlett, so it came as no surprise that he outgunned a handy field over 2090 metres in Hobart last night.

With the trainer’s youngest son, Mathew, in the sulky, Frankie Falzoni ($3.90) settled in the one-one before being angled three-wide to stake his claim at the 600-mertre mark.

After facing the breeze, well-backed Major Callum ($3 favourite) loomed a winning chance when he forged past the leader Really Fay Fay turning for home.

Me Mate Les emerged from the pack and looked set to run past the eventual winner, but Howlett’s gelding found when challenged and went on to score by a nose from Me Mate Les ($6.50), with Major Callum a close-up third.

Please with Frankie Falzoni’s improvement, Howlett expects the son of Chief Marty to continue to be very competitive in whatever he contests in the coming weeks.

Since arriving at Howlett’s stables almost two years ago, Frankie Falzoni has notched four wins and seven placings from 28 starts for just over $28,000.
