It has been a big couple of seasons for Georges Plains mentor Bernie Hewitt and it was topped off with another Group winner on the weekend.
Hewitt won the Breeders Challenge True Blue Group 2 with Kashed Up at Menangle on Saturday night, giving Hewitt his 10th Group winner as a trainer.
Kashed Up was bred and is raced by Hewitt’s daughter Gemma Hewitt who recently relocated to Queensland and could not campaign her horse in New South Wales with the travel restrictions that were in place.
Handing the reins over to her father saw Kashed Up also finished third in the major Breeders Challenge series to Bar Room Banta on October 30.
Kashed Up’s results this season have seen him pocket $122,489 in stakes.
The pacer will now head for a well-earned spell.
Meanwhile, the show goes on for Hewitt at Bathurst tonight where he has eight starters. Hewitt will share the driving duties with his son Jason Hewitt.
The iForm team have put together the best bets for tonight’s meeting:
Bathurst best bet
Race 6: The Rainbow Beach (6)
It took a good one to beat him last time, but he should lead here and go one better.
Bathurst next best
Race 9: Elpine Sally (1)
Had no luck last time, gets a gun draw and looks to be going well enough to win this.

The Bathurst quaddie
Race 5: 9,2,7
Race 6: 6,7
Race 7: 3,8,5,10
Race 8: 5,9
