JOE Pride continued his red letter spring with a success in The Hunter with Coal Crusher and he couldn’t contain his admiration for the galloper after his win in the $1 million event at Newcastle.
In a spring where Pride has won three Group 1 races and The Everest the trainer rated that victory up there as one of his highlights.
