6YO Hooked won his first race in some time on Saturday 15th April 2017 at Caulfield in the 1400m Group 3 handicap ridden by jockey Luke Nolen.
Trainer Robert Smerdon said “You have a plan in the back of your mind about how a race is going to play out and you hope that it does but more often than not some other variable comes into play and it doesn’t work out, but today just went as we’d expected and hoped,” Smerdon said.

“He had the barrier, he got a really good cart along and was able to present at the right time so it went exactly as it looked it might.”
