GOULBURN horseman Brad Hewitt knows what it takes to win the Young Cup.
He has won three of the past five editions.
And with a two-pronged attack aimed at tonight’s feature, Hewitt has chosen to drive Our Triple Play over his other pacer Send It.
Our Triple Play has raced in the Young Cup before when fourth to stablemate Spare Me Days in 2018. Spare Me Days won the Young Cup in three consecutive years from 2016 to 2018.
“This is a very strong country cup race tonight, but I am happy enough with my blokes who are coming off the back of competing against top company at Tabcorp Park Menangle,” said Hewitt.
“Both of them finished on the backs of the placegetters and were not beaten all that far.
“They are fit and well going into the race so I do expect them to be in the finish.
“No doubt luck in running will have a huge bearing on the outcome.”
Hewitt has his smart filly Arma Renegade going around in the Donges Supa IGA Young Oaks and again a smart field will assemble to contest the co-feature.
“I am really happy with Arma Renegade heading into the Oaks, and I was pleased with her effort to finish fifth in the NSW Oaks after sitting on a hot speed,” said Hewitt.
“Drawing gate 10 tonight does not concern me all that greatly as I can let her settle early and then decide when to make a move, which will depend on whether the leaders back off or not.”
Hewitt does not have a runner in the SWSCU and Young Services Club Derby, however his cousin Gemma Hewitt has Kashed Up engaged in the third feature of the night.
Kashed Up will be driven by Gemma’s father Bernie Hewitt.
Outside of the winner (Patsbeachstorm), Kashed Up was the eye-catching run in last weekend’s $200,000 NSW Derby at Menangle as he flooded home from near last to grab fourth placing, less than nine metres in arrears.
Meanwhile, the Broken Hill Carnival of Cups meeting is on tonight as well as racing at Newcastle.
