Win # 3 over 1600m and on the way to the cup!

By this stage we had our eyes towards the Geraldton Gold Cup coming up in a few weeks, so we stepped our new champ over the 1600m in a class 5. Although we did not know how well he would handle the trip, Clive had him in tip-top shape. He jumped well, positioned just off the leaders and then before the turn made his move. It gave us goose bumps when he just pulled away. He started an even money favourite and won like one. He became the talk of the town as he'd now won 2 in a row and looked more and more like a stayer with each race.

2nd Win. 1400m Class 3

We stepped him up in class and distance and he blitzed the field winning by 3 1/2 lengths with Robbie Quartermaine back on board. I think Chris Usher was suspended at the time. With the time of 1:22:47 we were beginning to wonder if he had the class and speed to head to the city. We decided to stay in Gero for this campaign, and have a crack at the city in the next one.
