Bridge expects Columbus to be worth the wait at Rosehill

Veteran trainer Les Bridge expresses confidence in the potential of his three-year-old horse Columbus ahead of his debut at Rosehill Racecourse. Columbus, purchased for $1.5 million as a yearling, has shown promise after a successful win at Newcastle and a strong performance in trials. Bridge notes that Columbus has been a slow starter but is now beginning to mature, expecting him to compete at a higher level. The horse, sired by Dundeel and out of a family with racing success, is set to run in the 1500m benchmark 72 handicap. Bridge plans to take Columbus step-by-step, starting with this race, while also hoping for improvement from another entry, Aye Aye Captain. Meanwhile, Enviable, trained by Chris Waller and ridden by James McDonald, is the favorite in the same race after recovering from a serious injury.

Buchanan keen to cash in after unlocking natural talent

Wyong trainer Kristen Buchanan is optimistic about her horse Hellova Nature's prospects in the upcoming Midway Handicap at Rosehill, where the track conditions are expected to improve. Hellova Nature has shown improved performance since joining Buchanan's stable, winning three of his last four races. His only defeat came in a 1300m race on a soft track, where he finished second behind Cold Brew. Buchanan attributes his success to adapting training methods, focusing on dry tracks and teaching the horse to settle at the start of races. She notes that Hellova Nature has found his rhythm and is currently performing well. Additionally, Buchanan is managing other horses, including Tambeloa and Annie’s Rose, for potential races, adjusting strategies based on current conditions.
