Gavin Groth-trained Flying Pretty wins Boggabri Cup

Ridden by Kelsey Lenton, the seven-year-old mare beat the Paul Grills-trained Flying Banjo (Georgina McDonnell) by more than two lengths.

The Stephen Jones-trained Oh No Bro (Jake Pracey-Holmes) was short distance away in third place.

The $4 race favourite now has two wins from her last three starts, and was backed by Groth to be a strong hope in the marquee race.

"I was confident that she could be very competitive," Groth said.

"The only negative was that she had a fair bit of weight to carry [62.5kg], because she's only a little mare.

"[Otherwise] I thought she'd drawn well, on her home track, and trained on well from her last start."

Flying Pretty now has five wins from 52 starts and more than $120,000 in prize money.
