Andrew Forsman’s solo training career gained serious momentum 12 months ago and Saturday may again provide the Cambridge horseman with a significant milestone.
Exceptional filly Legarto overcame a nightmare run down the Flemington straight to deliver a first New Zealand triumph in Saturday’s A$1 million Gr.1 Australian Guineas (1600m).
Roger James and Robert Wellwood have one confirmed Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) contender and will take their time before deciding if they double their hand.
Victorian-based jockey Daniel Stackhouse had a whale of a time on his last visit home and the expatriate Kiwi horseman was quick to accept an invitation to return for Saturday’s Pukekohe meeting.
