(Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Co-trainer Adrian Bott has confirmed that the Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) at Rosehill on March 29 will be Vauban’s first-up challenge for the stable. The seven-year-old gelding has completed two trials so far, finishing seventh over 1000 metres at Warwick Farm on February 11 before improving to take fourth in a 1200-metre trial at Randwick a fortnight later. Vauban, who has finished 14th and 11th in the last two Melbourne Cups, was purchased by syndicators Australian Bloodstock in partnership with trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott following his most recent Cup run. The son of Galiway also had a 1400-metre hit-out between races at Warwick Farm last Wednesday. “I wanted to get him out and get that race day experience before we get him to the actual races,” Bott said. “He had a good experience, a good day and got out on the course proper and had a nice piece of work. “Starting first-up over 2400 metres, we wanted to have him forward enough in condition. He needed that in terms of the outing and the overall experience. “It was a positive outing for him.” Vauban is currently a $8 chance for the Tancred Stakes with horse racing betting sites.
