Freedman scores first winner since Australian return Trainer Lee Freedman at the launch of the TAB Queensland Winter Racing Carnival at Eagle Farm. Picture: Tara Croser 03:59am • 07 July 2021 It was a long way from the exhilarating highs of winning five Melbourne Cups, but Hall of Fame trainer Lee Freedman got on the board at Eagle Farm on Wednesday with his second starter since returning from Singapore. Freedman had to settle for second when his first runner back, Intrepidacious, narrowly missed in the Listed Gai Waterhouse Classic at Ipswich last month. But his second starter, well-backed three-year-old filly Safeeya, did the business when she won the $35,000 Class Three Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on Wednesday.
