The Kiwi import, aiming for her first Australian Group 1 triumph, has impressed the stable since arriving in Perth. “Tyler has done a great job on her. Unfortunately, he was suspended; otherwise, he probably would have been over there, but Nash is a pretty handy replacement,” said Baker’s racing manager, Luke Hilton. “He is very experienced, and he’s got a bit of an intimidation factor about him. He can be pretty smart when it comes to those outside draws. “He knows what to do and can be a bit unique with his approach sometimes, so we’ll give him the reins.” The seven-year-old mare has travelled west without issue and continues to progress ahead of the weekend. Having already notched two Group 1 victories in New Zealand over 1600 metres, Belclare is well-credentialed to add an Australian title to her record. “The timing was perfect for her after having those couple of 1400-metre runs here,” Hilton explained. “She had a gallop on Tuesday, and she ran the hands off the clock. She has just continued to improve and improve. We’re really happy with her—she hasn’t missed a beat since she got to Perth.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
