IT WAS SOMEDAY FOR FALVELON!
One of Queensland’s real stalwart stallions, Falvelon, registered his 8th stakes winner on Saturday when his very promising 4YO Someday was victorious for trainer Kelso Wood in the $175,000 Listed Glasshouse Handicap at the Sunshine Coast.
It was the gelding’s third attempt at black type success after registering two unlucky placings at his last two outings.

Ridden perfectly by high profile jockey Michael Cahill, Someday settled three wide and third last in the run but quickly rounded them up in the straight to deliver a very convincing 3.25 length winning margin.
“Once he got onto some better footing about the 600m mark and started to travel I was always confident he was going to win,” Cahill said not long after dismounting. “He put paid to them very quickly and no horse has sprinted away from them like that on this track today – which adds even more merit to his win.
“He is a horse going places and he gave me a terrific feel!”
Trainer Kelso Woods agrees and, in fact, intends to do just what Cahill has suggested by taking him south and aiming at spring carnival riches.
“I already have Sizzling and Real Surreal (by Real Saga) heading to Sydney and Melbourne for the spring and this guy can now join them,” Wood said. “I am sure he is capable of winning a really good race and I rate him very unlucky not to be undefeated since I have had him (has won or placed in 12 of his 14 career starts).
“He has been a victim of bad luck and bad rides but his class has never been in question.
“He will now have a short let-up and I am sure he will be competitive in everything we set him for. He always is!”
Yesterday’s victory saw Falvelon leap inside the Top 50 sires in Australia and took his progeny’s total winning prizemoney to well over $18million.
And standing at just $9,000 plus GST in 2013, Falvelon must surely appeal as one of the most attractive options available to breeders this season.
