Surprise city win for Rhinoceros
Emma-Lee and David Browne planned to use Saturday’s A$130,000 Robert Taranto Handicap (1400m) at Caulfield as a lead-up to a country cup for Rhinoceros (NZ) (Vadamos), but the New Zealand-bred gelding had other ideas and rattled home for a $31 upset win. The six-year-old headed into Saturday’s race with a strong run of form away from the bright lights of metropolitan racing. He had won the Dunkeld Cup (1800m) in November and the Colac Cup (2000m) in February, followed by a fourth in the Echuca Cup (1400m) and a last-start…

The Chris Waller-trained Aeliana burst on the scene in the spring with back-to-back wins in the…

Preusker won the race with Savabeel gelding Captain Envious (NZ) (Savabeel) last year, and on Saturday he secured a repeat result with Tarzino five-year-old Torranzino (NZ) (Tarzino). The Easter Cup was Torranzino’s third start in his current preparation, having run a bold first-up fourth behind Deny Knowledge in the Listed Victoria Gold Cup (2000m) in late February before a close last-start…
