O’Sullivan allowed Angus Indiana to lob along at the rear of the field before embarking on a three wide sojourn around the field with a lap to travel.<\/p>\n
Despite covering extra ground, Angus Indiana ($4.20) raced to the lead with 100 metres to travel and held on to score by a head from Silver Mystique with Im Wesley three metres away in third.<\/p>\n
O’Sullivan conceded it wasn’t an easy steer on the Scott Rains trained pacer.<\/p>\n
“It was a bit of hard drive \u2013 a hard race \u2013 but it was worth it in the end. [It’s] my first metro win,” O’Sullivan said.<\/p>\n
O’Sullivan said the son of Heston Blue Chip overcame the inevitable mid-race move.<\/p>\n
“I was thinking when I got back to last that it’s going to be hard from here and I’m going to have to make a move at some point and that was the game plan going into the race,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t really expect the favorite to go around again and sit outside and I was a bit worried at that point, but once I got outside that horse, he was full of running, even after going pretty hard that first half. He went really good.”<\/p>\n
O’Sullivan said he was glad to retain the drive after steering the horse to victory at his previous outing.<\/p>\n
“I won with him last start at Yarra Valley and Scotty rang me and told me that he would keep me on for the final and I was pretty pleased with that,” he said.<\/p>\n
O’Sullivan cited the support he has received from trainer Glen Bull.<\/p>\n
“It’s my best season so far. I think this is my 18th win and I’m happy that Glen has given me a go and it’s a big thrill for me,” he said.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old is the son of 2017 Gordon Rothacker Medallist and Hall Of Fame Inductee Jim O’Sulllivan.<\/p>\n
