It is said that weight can stop a train but Anthony Cummings is more concerned about Mizzy’s wide barrier draw for the Coolmore Classic than he is about her topweight.

If not for the persuasive powers of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Con Te Partiro would have been in a paddock rather than winning the Group One Coolmore Classic. The training duo guided the mare’s Australian career before she was retired to stud last year, failing to get into foal to Zoustar. Re-enter Waterhouse and[...]

Talented mare Sylvia’s Mother has handled a step up in distance at Flemington with aplomb to claim the second straight stakes win of her preparation.

The Coolmore Classic is a race close to trainer Kris Lees’ heart and he hopes at least two of the stable’s mares can confirm their credentials for the Group One race when they clash at Rosehill.

The Group One Coolmore Classic is the goal for Sweet Deal this autumn with trainer John Thompson adamant the mare has gone to a new level.
