Doudle chases Glorious hat trick

NZRacingDesk

Before he’d even seen the final field for Saturday’s opener at Moonee Valley, Travis Doudle felt things must have lined up well for former New Zealand-trained gelding Not Usual Glorious (Fiorente). “The phone is starting to tingle so I think there’s a few people starting to get excited about it,” the trainer said.

Shanlyn ‘hunting’ staying success

Editor BOAY

Ray Shiells is no stranger to training a top class stayer, famously winning the 1990 National Distance Championship at Olympic Park with Clean Machine. So, it would be wise to listen when the veteran mentor says he’ll be “shocked” if boom distance prospect Shanlyn Hunter doesn’t continue on his winning way at The Meadows on Saturday night.
