The eight-year-old can lay claim to being the most aptly named galloper in NSW, lining up in Gunnedah on Monday for his 16th start since mid-January.
A packed country and provincial schedule could play right into the hands of an ageing warrior ahead of the feature Curlewis Cup at Monday’s Gunnedah meeting.
Incredibly, he lines up for his 16th start since mid-January, with three weeks the longest gap between any of those runs. And he’s showing no signs of losing his appetite. While this race at BM 82 level over 1400m is a further step up in quality, not only does he get conditions to suit, but he takes on a line-up that ultimately looks rather thin.The final field was somewhat of a guessing game, with two of the better each-way fancies racing in tougher provincial company at Newcastle on Saturday. Both Muswellbrook-based five-year-old Rebel’s Edge and Scone four-year-old Touch Of Navy finished out of a place in a deeper BM 68 Hcp over 1400m at Newcastle.
And the race lost more depth when honest Dubbo galloper Watch Me Rumble was preferred in a BM 82 at his home meeting on Sunday.All that has left the door open for the oldest horse in the field to grab a third win in nine weeks.
