Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 17 Journalists Share Posted May 17 What Tennant Creek Cup Day Where Hagan Park – Perry Dr, Tennant Creek NT 0860 When Saturday, May 18, 2024 First Race 1:24pm ACST Visit Dabble All roads lead to Tennant Creek on Saturday with the annual Cup Day meeting at Hagan Park. There is $131,000 up for grabs across the six-event program, with the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (1600m) and the $21,500 Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (1200m) taking centre stage on the sand surface. Fine weather is the forecast for the rest of the week, with windy and sunny conditions on Saturday and a top temperature of 27C. BEST BET: THE GIRL’S BOY After struggling in his first two starts in Alice Springs, The Girl’s Boy saluted over 1000m (BM64) on January 14 before capitulating to finish ninth over 1100m (0-64) a fortnight later. Since then, the four-year-old gelding has recorded a win over 1200m in Class 2 company before running second (1200m), fourth (1100m) and then third (1200m) at 0-58 level. Best Bet Race 2 – #2 The Girl’s Boy (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Kerry Petrick | J: Paul Denton (59kg) Bet with Bet365 NEXT BEST: MERSEYSIDE Merseyside failed to make an impression in her first three starts in Darwin, but she has since improved with two seconds over 1300m in 0-64 grade on March 22 and April 19. The fact that Phil Cole has elected to send the five-year-old mare some 990km down the road to Tennant Creek is significant. During her stint with Eagle Farm trainers Steven O’Dea and Matt Hoysted, Merseyside had four wins, six seconds and a third.

Since February, the five-year-old gelding has managed a win over 1200m in 0-58 company on St Patrick’s Day, as well as two seconds, a third and a fourth. Dakota Gillett’s 2kg claim is also a bonus.
