DAMIEN BROWNE: Proved again that he’s definitely the King of Caloundra with a wining treble on ist biggest day.
GOLD SYMPHONY: Being gelded after last prep has made him a winter star. Can dominate anything he runs in while in this form.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND: History tells you that when Gai Waterhouse gets an improving stayer on a winning roll there’s no telling how far they can go. Ran 2400m at first go in the Caloundra Cup on his ear to make it three straight.DARRYL HANSEN: A big feature double at Caloundra was his career highlight. They ahd plenty to celebrate as the double took plentry from the bookmakers
ADAM HYERONIMUS: Great homecoming as he grabbed a last minute chance to ride a feature winner at his first ever ride at Caloundra, a track where he grew up as a kid.Monsieur Gustave continues his hot run of form, leading throughout to win the listed Glasshouse Hcp at the #SunshineCoast! pic.twitter.com/DC1aCbrjSO
