Lightly-raced WA-bred pacer Goodfellaz emerged as an excellent candidate for the rich feature events for four-year-olds at the end of the year when he scored an impressive all-the-way win in the 1730m Bridge Bar Pace at Gloucester Park on Friday night.
He started from the No. 2 barrier and was the $1.40 favourite who relished his pacemaking role and sped over the final 400m sections in 27.8sec. and 28sec. to win by a half-length from $7.50 chance Jett Star, who fought on grandly after racing in the breeze.
Goodfellaz, prepared by Hopeland trainer Debra Lewis and driven by her husband Chris, rated a slick 1.55.1 and improved his record to 14 starts for eight wins, four placings and stakes of $63,340.
