Josh Parr in awe of Japanese raider after his first sit on Obamburumai at Rosehill on Tuesday.
There is something distinct about Japanese raiders arriving in Australia and Obamburumai fits that bill as a small, but powerful package preparing for Saturday’s Golden Eagle at Rosehill.
“They’re still very keen to stick with the horses they know and with Hawaii Five Oh, Amelia’s Jewel and Legarto all drawing well, the money continues to come for them.There is an element of the unknown about Obamburumai, who won a group 2 in his return as a Northern time three-year-old this year. He started single figures in betting when he was third in the NHK Mile Cup for three-year-olds in May, which prompted the trip to Australia.
Yoshimura said that 1500m would be the perfect trip for his horse as he is more of a sprinter-miler and this was one of the main reasons he chose to come to Australia. If ever there was a fairytale story in the short history of the Golden Eagle, hard-working jockey Koby Jennings is it.Credit:Charges have been dropped for NRL stars Latrell Mitchel and Jack Wighton after a police officer admitted to making a false police report and lying under oath.
