Matamata trainer Cody Cole clocked up quite a few kilometres down State Highway One on Tuesday when he took a few of his team down to the Foxton trials.
Cody Cole is hopeful that his promising mare Kind Thoughts will have her chance at stakes glory in Saturday’s Listed James Bull Rangitikei Cup (1600m) at Trentham.
Cody Cole will head to Ruakaka with a competitive selection of runners on Wednesday before chasing a black-type target closer to home over the weekend with Renovations.
“Anything can happen and I don’t think he’s a $41 shot, which he is at the moment, but I guess a lot of trainers are thinking the same thing, we’re all a bit like that.”
Renegade Rebel will make the second middle distance appearance of his burgeoning career on Wednesday in his final lead-up to the country’s Blue Riband age group staying feature.
