The ‘country cups king in waiting’ is a short-priced $2.15 favourite for the $78,795 Group 2 Bendigo Cup (425m) – Race 8, 9.27pm – as he ‘storms’ towards a third provincial crown.

An exciting “new kid on the block”, All Spritzed Up (Aug ’20 Ritza Lenny x All Dolled Up) ‘poured’ on the pressure with a flying 29.78sec performance. In fact, he was the only semi-finalist to register sub-30sec. He’s now…

Giant youngster Cindy’s Boy was following a proud family tradition when he set Sandown Park alight at his 515m debut last Sunday afternoon.

Cindy’s Boy ($2.60F) came into Sunday afternoon’s Sandown assignment off a slick 25.67sec maiden victory at Geelong and after staging a mid-race duel for supremacy with fancied rival Shadow Riot ($2.80), he broke clear in…
