Tasmanian performer, The Cleaner, gave his rivals something to chase, with little hope of them catching him, in the Dominant Travis Harrison Cup at Moonee Valley.

He is a good horse and his record shows it, 15 wins and 11 placings from 39 starts, he has been a profitable investment for his connections.

From the times gates were released The Cleaner was playing the field on a break; he led at every section of the race and was clearly doing his best work when the post was reached.

The gelding arrived from Tasmania on Thursday; after he had raced the truck was waiting to take him back to the wharf, he arrived home to his stable at Longford the following morning.

It is a great story, you don’t get many horses like The Cleaner, he has put together over half a million in stakes and still racing in great form.

He was first purchased by his trainer Mick Burles, when he ran out of money the horse was sold and Mick was retained as trainer.

Some of the early weight for age races look appealing for The Cleaner, such as the Makybe Diva Stakes, and the Emirates Stakes would not be ruled out either, on the last day of the Flemington carnival.

The Cleaner- A brilliant winner
