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.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

Mary and I had a great weekend. As usual, Taupo Race Club put on a couple of days that encourage you to go to the races. The lead-in to the day was an hour or so at the iconic Yacht Club Bar – an easy place to be, perched above the lake: wine, beer and pizzas provided. A chance to meet and greet, bearing in mind the visitors that make the effort to attend.
