Well, the Wodonga Cup panned out as we predicted, except for the result. Diamond Cove got a beuatiful run just off the speed, and Elbrus was trapped 3 and 4 wide from his bad draw. Luke Nolen rode a perfect race on Diamond Cove, getting the clear run coming to the turn and giving the mare every chance to win the race. However Elbrus made light of work of the 5kg in weight he was giving Diamond Cove, and despite the wide trip, was far too good at the finish to win narrowly but convincingly. A great effort by Elbrus to win the way he did, most other horses would have faded after the run he had, but not Elbrus, he just kept coming. A city win would not surprise in the future for him. They spaced the others, and I doubt much form other than Elbrus will come out of the race. We won't be tipping Diamond Cove again, she had the run to win, but was beaten by the best horse on the day.
Horses to follow from the weekend.
Glenbawn Star will win a race in the city after his dynamic performance in winning at Kembla on Saturday, much to the delight of PASS members.
Wings Of Seraph will go through his grades in Brisbane. He has won 3 from 7 now, with 4 minor placings, and there is a nice race during the Brisbane winter carnival with his name on it. He came from a long way back to win on Saturday, but once given clear running, he was always going to win. Keep following him, he will win plenty more.
Good luck & profitable punting.
