Mike Breslin is hoping the horse he named after one of his favourite footballers, Peter Crouch, can earn him a ticket into Australia’s most coveted race.
Rugged stayer Crouch may well have earned the right to put an Australian stamp in his passport with a typically dogged effort to claim the headline event on the Otaki card on Saturday, the Listed Hawke’s Bay Cup (2200m).
Awapuni stayer Crouch will bid to capture an elusive stakes victory this weekend before he readies to head across the Tasman to test his talent in Melbourne next month.
