That's Freedom is no Black Caviar but legendary trainer Frank Cleary will push on towards the Queanbeyan Cup after his gutsy all-the-way victory in the benchmark 60 handicap (1460 metres) at the course on Monday. <\/p>\n
It was the first of three Monday public holiday meetings Queanbeyan will hold this season, with the Queanbeyan Cup switching to a Saturday on November 29 in an attempt to boost the club's profitability by racing on the biggest betting day of the week. <\/p>\n
Traditionally the cup has been held on a Sunday. <\/p>\n
Cleary doesn't like the move, but said he was \"too busy picking up horse s---\" to get involved in club politics.But he hopes he can secure a start in the cup with That's Freedom, who was previously trained in Melbourne by Peter Moody. <\/p>\n

That's Freedom, ridden by Mathew Cahill, scored a dominant all-the-way win, holdingoff a late run from Chosen Time to score by a neck, with Hollywood Nel a half-neck further back in third. <\/p>\n
Cleary also saluted with Punton Sunny in the benchmark 55 handicap (875 metres). <\/p>\n
\"Peter Moody had [That's Freedom] originally and he didn't have much of an opinion of him ... but he's probably used to Black Caviar,\" he said. <\/p>\n
\"This horse wouldn't measure up to her, but in the owners' eyes he's doing the same job.\" <\/p>\n
