Bendigo Cup Day Free Service to Bel Esprit
THE powerful Lloyd Williams racing team will use the Bendigo Jockey Club as part of its base for the spring carnival.
Starting this Sunday, horses of the calibre of 2007 Melbourne Cup winner Efficient, last year’s Melbourne Cup placegetter C’est La Guerre and multiple Group One placegetter Zipping will regularly use the course proper at Bendigo for training runs leading into Melbourne’s feature events.
For the second year in succession Efficient, C’est La Guerre and Zipping will step up their spring preparation with exhibition gallops in between races at Sunday’s BJC meeting.
Williams’ horses are stabled at his expansive Macedon base where Bel Esprit spent his racing days and racing manager Jim Bowler said the BJC was the perfect location for their stable stars to work out.
Three of Eliza Park Stud’s premier stallions - Shinzig, Delago Brom and Danbird - will parade in between races four and five.
The BJC and Eliza Park have joined forces to offer owners of fillies and mares an added incentive to run their horses at the BJC over spring.
On Sunday the winner of the ShinzigEliza Park Handicap will receive a free service to Shinzig, while future events on September 13 and on Bendigo Cup day will also bonuses.
A 3YO fillies event on Bendigo Cup day will carry a free service to boom sire Bel Esprit.
