A return to Riccarton is looming large on the horizon for reigning Grand National winners West Coast and Berry The Cash, who have been entered for a pair of 2200m races on the flat at Waverley on Sunday.
“I’m really glad that he got there, he’s an exciting horse for the future if Mark lets me keep him as a jumper. He is a stakes horse so if we can keep him going well on the flat we’ll do that as well.”
They say weight can stop a train and for most of the 3100m of Saturday’s Te Whangai Romneys Hawke’s Bay Hurdle that adage looked to be uncomfortably true for punters who backed Berry The Cash into a starting price of just $1.20
