Black Tom created a bit of history by becoming the first horse to win the Perth Cup-Kalgoorlie Cup double.

At Kalgoorlie Saturday Just A Halo saluted. Cristobal was placed.
At Belmont Grasspatch Girl saluted. Wool Zone and The Black Cigar were placed.

Equal fastest trial of the day were both ridden by the pontiff, Attadale heat 7 , Wild Target heat 8.

Wild Target won his heat easily while Attadale just pipped the latest 'boom' galloper Seafarer.

Frank Maynard (Seafarer's trainer) had been advised that Seafarer must trial to the satisfaction of the Stewards before racing again after his disappointing effort Sep 9.

All 3 worth a follow.

Belmont R4 H11 Say Cherie
Belmont R5 H1 Contentious Miss
Belmont R7 H5 Storm On By H6 Water Into Wine

At Belmont today our starters are Egyptology in the 1st. Buster’s Icon in the 2nd. Tribal Lover and Dashing Belle in the 6th. Darcy Vargas and Blue Tribu in the 7th.

Word is that Frank Maynard is setting Black Tom for the Moonee Valley Gold Cup and if he does well in that race, on to the big one!

Didn't do too well when he went to SA, trip to Vic certainly no easier!
