Eighteen-year-old trainer Elyie Frederickson has wasted no time announcing himself, landing feature race success just nine months into his training career.

The son of Amanda Tulio celebrated a breakthrough victory at Bendigo on Sunday, taking out the Jarrod Larkin Gold Rush Maiden Final with Mysterious.

A litter sister to Warragul St Leger winner Delicate, Mysterious ($21.30) produced a strong performance to claim the 425m feature in 23.65 seconds at just her second race start.

Frederickson also prepared the third placegetter, Detectable, to cap off a memorable day for the young trainer.

“I’m very excited to have won a feature race so early in my career,” Frederickson said.

“The pressure is during the week making sure the dog is right and race night is the exciting part.”

Mysterious wins the Jarrod Larkin Gold Rush Maiden Final from box three.

The win came against a high-quality field, headlined by odds-on favourite Organised Crime, trained by Justin Nolan, who had stunned with a 23.42-second debut in his heat.

Mysterious, who turns three in June, has overcome her share of setbacks to reach this point.

“She hurt her hock and then had some monkey muscle issues before coming on season,” Frederickson said.

“The four bitches in the litter have nothing between them.”

With a small but promising team of ten greyhounds in work, Frederickson now has his sights firmly set on bigger targets.

And if Sunday’s result is anything to go by, the teenage trainer may not have to wait long to chase his first Group 1 success.
