Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 11 hours ago Journalists Posted 11 hours ago New Zealand Group One winner Pier (NZ) (Proisir) has joined in the race for this spring’s A$6 million Cox Plate at The Valley after being paid-up as a late entry on Tuesday. The 2000 Guineas winner as a three-year-old, Pier is trained by father-and-daughter team Darryn and Briar Weatherley and is part-owned by a couple of well-known Australians including Ozzie Kheir and John O’Neil. Pier has won five of his 13 starts, including his latest run in the Listed Wayne Wilson (1600m) at Eagle Farm in June. He is expected to run first-up in the Gr.3 Theo Marks Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill on September 13, before progressing to the Gr.1 Epsom Handicap (1600m) at Randwick on October 4. Depending on his form, he could then come down to Melbourne for the Cox Plate. Ethan Brown has been booked for the horse’s Theo Marks return. Pier’s late nomination, at a fee of $6600, brings the total of Cox Plate nominations this year to 108. View the full article Quote
