Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 5 hours ago Journalists Posted 5 hours ago Mick Price and Michael Kent Junior’s gigantic galloper Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit) could head to the Cox Plate following his upset win in the Gr.1 Might And Power Stakes on Saturday. Price told Racing.com on Sunday morning that he’d had discussions with the ownership group about running Globe in the weight for age championship event on October 25, which would require them to pay a late entry fee. “It’s a $200,000 pay up, they pay $100,000 down to eighth and it would be a small field,” Price said. “I’m not sure when I have to make that pay up, but if he has a good seven to 10 days, why wouldn’t you?” Globe is no stranger to The Valley, having finished a close up second there at his first-up run this preparation. “He only just got beaten at Moonee Valley in a 1500m race there,” Price said. “I think those big horses, once they get to 2000m around there, they handle it better than a bustling little 1500m race. I’ve got no troubles about him getting around Moonee Valley. “If the horse is physically well, it’s a handball in.” Globe is at $18 in Sportsbet’s market for the Cox Plate.
