Kiwi mare chasing cup spot

9 October 2015

New Zealand-bred and owned mare Bohemian Lily will try to secure a Gr.1 Caulfield Cup start on Saturday.

She is one of eight runners in the Herbert Power Handicap striving to win the Group Two event in the hope of nailing down a cup spot.

Trained by Gai Waterhouse for Kevin Hickman, Kerrin McEvoy will ride Bohemian Lily who was a last-start second in the Gr.3 Colin Stephen Quality at Rosehill.
