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.

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.
