Pakenham Cup option for Bankers Choice

After numerous viewings of Banker’s Choice’s win in the Listed Ballarat Cup (2000m) on Saturday, Mike Moroney believes the son of Mongolian Khan could be best suited over ground.

Moroney said he has had to reassess his future plans for Banker’s Choice as he put his win in the Ballarat Cup down to his superior stamina.

Straight after the win Moroney suggested he would look at a race such as the Gr.1 Doncaster (1600m).

Moroney has indicated he is considering giving Bankers Choice another start this campaign over 2500m so he can find out whether he can stay and then he could plan his 2023 campaign after that.

A race such as the $300,000 Listed Pakenham Cup (2500m) on December 3 would be an ideal race to test his theory.

“The more I’ve watched the replays we might change tack with him as his stamina was the main part of his win and he ran right through the line,” Moroney said.

“The Caulfield Cup (Gr.1, 2400m) in the spring next year might be his go. We had always thought 2000m races might be more like it. I’m well aware he’s deep into his preparation and we’ve trained him up to go deep into it but it warrants a fair bit of thought to test him over more ground.”
