(Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Ciaron Maher-trained Another Wil (Street Boss) is set to bypass the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on August 31. Instead, connections have opted to start the Group 3 winner in a Benchmark 100 (1400m) race on the same day. Assistant trainer Jack Turnbull shared with Racing.com that while Another Wil might be aimed at a Group 1 race later, his initial target will be at a more manageable level. “He’s going to go to a 1400 (metre) at the end of the month to kick off, and then it’s performance-based from there,” Turnbull explained. The horse has made impressive strides, jumping from a rating of 64 in January to 102 in April. “The idea would be that we are running well there rather than going to a race like a Memsie. “If he was to win that (BM100), you’d look at say a Makybe (Diva Stakes) second-up over a mile. He’s obviously a very talented horse. “He’s still got a little bit to go mentally. He’s pretty hot and jazzy at times, so physically he’s there, but mentally he’s still got a touch to go.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
