Gerry Harvey has never won a Cox Plate. But a horse with a reptilian name and one of the country’s greatest ever trainers could change that on Saturday.
Gerry Harvey has never won a Cox Plate, the race known for bringing together the best-of-the-best of Australian horse racing. But on Saturday, a horse with a reptilian name and the heart of a tiger could change that.

So, it’s ironic that one of Harvey’s biggest rivals for the Cox Plate is another homewares king from Hong Kong: Peter Lau, the co-founder of one of Asia’s biggest discount homewares chains, Japan Home Centres.
