Jimmy The Irishman’s meteoric rise through the ranks in his adopted home of Victoria has been quite remarkable.
Adam Kelly’s New Zealand import has strung together six-straight wins on Australian soil, with his streak starting at Mildura back in April before progressing to back-to-back metropolitan-level triumphs at his last two starts.
The success at Bendigo a fortnight ago was arguably his best yet, with regular driver Zac Phillips navigating a path off the fence in the home straight to run down Group 1 winner Bar Room Banta in a slick 1:54.0min mile rate.
But can and will the run of hot form continue? Answers to that very riddle were sought during this week’s edition of Burning Questions, where Phillips joined regular panel members Andy Gath, Nikkita Ross and Jason Bonnington to tackle some of the key conundrums that emerge from this Saturday night’s Geelong meeting.
