Cotehele scores Randwick victory
The John O’Shea-trained Cotehele (NZ) (Tavistock) gave last season’s champion apprentice Tom Sherry the perfect start to his senior riding career with a Randwick victory on Saturday. It was the young jockey’s first Saturday meeting since coming out of his time as an apprentice during the week and he was thrilled to get the monkey off his back so soon. “The start of the day was a bit rocky but it is always good to get a winner without an ‘a’ beside your name,” Sherry said. “I suppose just for…
Pinarello triumphs in Queensland Derby
The Roger James and Robert Wellwood-trained Pinarello (NZ) (Tavistock) ran out a worthy winner of the Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2400m) after staving off the late challenge of Paternal (NZ) (Savabeel) under an inspired Leith Innes ride. The son of Tavistock jumped from barrier 17 in the 18-horse Classic, yet Innes had him one-off the fence passing the winning post for the first time and the promising young stayer did the rest. Pinarello had gone five weeks since winning the Gr.2 Championship Stakes (2100m) at Pukekohe, with his Cambridge-based conditioners electing…
