Tommy Berry used to spend his spring in Melbourne but these days he stays in Sydney where his chances are best.
The beginning of October has traditionally been when jockeys set up their spring with good horses being readied for grand finals at Moonee Valley and Flemington, but these days Tommy Berry looks to Randwick.
“I have locked into those two early because from the first time I got on Henlein I thought, ‘gee you feel like a group 1 horse’, and Gringotts is perfectly placed in the Big Dance.“It is not something you do lightly, because the Melbourne Cup is such a big race that I want to win.” “He has been a bit fresh and keen early in his preparation, so I want to see him switch off a bit, and you will see the best of him.Gringotts at $4 is the longest price of three favourites Berry will ride on Saturday, the other two being Olentia in The Nivison and the unbeaten filly Spirit Of Wealth in the Roman Consul Stakes.
“Every run this preparation he is getting that little bit closer to his best, and there is that little more improvement left in him yet. Berry described waiting for Spirit Of Wealth’s Newcastle maiden win as like waiting for Christmas, so it’s no surprise she finds her way into group 2 company so quickly after another win at Warwick Farm.
