Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 13 Journalists Share Posted June 13 Sir Lucan on the way to the barriers prior to the running of the 2023 Geelong Cup. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Co-trainer Adrian Bott remains optimistic about Sir Lucan, confident the gelding can recover from his disappointing performance in last weekend’s Listed Lord Mayor’s Cup (2000m) as he competes in Saturday’s Listed Winter Cup (2400m) at Rosehill. Bott acknowledged that Sir Lucan’s recent run was not what the stable had expected, but he believes there were mitigating factors. “He might not have enjoyed the really heavy conditions on Saturday, that may have just found him out,” said Bott, who trains in partnership with Gai Waterhouse. “He did have to do a bit of work early from a wide draw, and he may be looking for the 2400 metres now, so I can find a few excuses for him. “He looks well placed here, so I’d try to be forgiving of that last start, if anything.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
