Cascadian looking to get Bowman to the 100
August 19, 2021
The Doncaster Mile winner steps out for the first time this preparation on Saturday under Hugh Bowman who has been stranded on 99 Group 1 wins since the Queensland Winter Carnival.
The now seven-year-old had a light but fruitful Autumn campaign picking up the Group 1 Doncaster Mile along with placings in the Group 1 All Aged and a close up fourth in the Group 1 George Ryder behind Think It Over.
Trainer James Cummings believes the horse is ready but concedes it’s going to be a tough ask against a star studded field come Saturday.
“I think he’s fit enough to win first up but the level of competition is extremely high and seven furlongs is something a little below of his best.
“The fact that he’s full of confidence after winning the Doncaster and running a ripping race in the All Aged Stakes leaves him pretty well placed to run a very tractable race in the Winx,” Cummings said.
Hugh Bowman jumps aboard the Godolphin galloper for the first time in a race on Saturday and will be looking to register his 100th career Group 1 victory.
Cascadian is currently a $10 chance in the Group 1 Winx Stakes on Saturday.
