There won’t be any reinventing the wheel with speedy mare Passeggiata when she makes her debut for Richard and Will Freedman at Kensington on Wednesday.
With only 18 starts under her belt she’s still lightly raced and Will Freedman said if the change of routine and scenery does the trick she’ll be a bargain at the $60,000 he paid for her.

So she’ll step out in new colours in the PKF Sydney Handicap (1000m), with Hollymount Stud’s Matthew Sandblom in the ownership, and Freedman said they will go into her first-up run with an open mind as to where her future lies.
“She’s a six-year-old mare, you’re not going to change her style,” he said.
“She’s a fast horse, we’re just putting her in a different system and sometimes that changes their psyche a bit.
“They form a relationship with new people. I don’t think we’re doing anything revolutionary by any means.”
Passeggiata was formerly trained by Bjorn Baker and, as she does in her races, hit the ground running, winning three of her first four starts.
In her subsequent 14 attempts she recorded five second placings with the latest of those back in April when she was run down by Miss Icelandic at Randwick.
She’s won both barrier trials – taking her barrier trial form to 11 wins and a second from 12 trials – and Freedman said feedback from jockey Ashley Morgan has been encouraging.
