Caulfield Cup favourite Buckaroo has drawn an ideal gate for Saturday’s group 1 race. Check out how his rivals fared.
Trainer Chris Waller’s stranglehold on favouritism for Saturday’s $5 million Caulfield Cup has tightened after his group 1-winning import Buckaroo drew gate eight in Tuesday’s barrier draw.
“He worked very well. I think he’s come on well since his Metropolitan win. That was only third up, and he’s quite a gross horse. I thought he looked fitter today in the parade ring here, and he worked accordingly. He worked well, recovered well, and I think he’s on an upward plane. So I’m hoping he’ll continue to improve.”Track rider Kosi Kawakami speaks to RSN about Warp Speed:
Purton will fly in from Hong Kong to ride Chris Waller’s Land Legend in the group 1 handicap, while his former Hong Kong adversary, Moreira, will partner Waller’s other runner, and race favourite, Buckaroo. “When you hand the horse over to a jockey, they’ve got to make the decisions, and those big race jockeys get the decisions right more often than not,” Waller said.“Joao Moreira, he really is magic, and Zac Purton, he’s as good as. I’m sure he thinks he’s better than Joe. So it’s good to have two confident jockeys aboard, two world-class jockeys.”
