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.

New winner for Noverre

Noverre has another winner on the board after Platinum La Danse produced a dazzling last-to-first run to break her maiden at just her fourth career start.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

The two of you will be aware of my ongoing concern as to the future of our sport. You could argue I have a vested interest; well, I did have, but my interest now is to give the future generations the opportunity my generation had. Now I can tell you, hand on heart, there were many financial thin times. 1975 was my fledgling start with five mares on 130 acres that occasionally flooded with the well-bred, non-race-winning Super Gray.
