Plucky Gilmore looks for Grafton Cup redemption Happy Go Plucky, ridden by Stephanie Thornton, wins the Ipswich Cup. Picture: Grant Peters/Trackside Photography. Comments Veteran trainer John Gilmore will take his evergreen stayer Happy Go Plucky to the Grafton Cup on Thursday as he looks to go wherever Joe Pride’s Stockman isn’t. The 73-year-old concedes training is a “young man’s game” these days but says he still gets the thrill out of seeing his horses win. The Gold Coast trainer has had winners in Macau, China and Inner Mongolia but it is the 2019 Grafton Cup that still gets to him where he is adamant Happy Go Plucky should have won the race, had it not been for an unlucky trip in running.

Punters post-race: Tatt s Tiara day in review by Luke Sheehan, Nick Hluchaniuk & David Hocking Tofane made it back-to-back G1 wins Image: Racing Queensland Tatt s Tiara day saw Tofane take out the feature race, Incentivise sew up the Star Performer with another demolition job, and an imbecile invade the track at Newcastle. Star Performer Incentivise (Eagle Farm R6) We’re running out of things to say about this bloke . but his progression from being beaten in a Toowoomba maiden three months ago, to favourite in two of Australia’s most famous handicaps is nothing short of unbelievable. There was even a Group One winner 12 lengths behind him today in the form of Mirage Dancer. Despite facing his stiffest test, Incentivise treated his rivals with the same disdain we’ve seen throughout his six-race winning streak. Tregea retains a share of the horse through his Windermere Stud, but he’ll now head south to trainer Peter Moody who will prepare him for the Cups in the spring. He also counts Ozzie Kheir in the ownership, and has carried his silks to victory at his past two starts by a combined 21.5 lengths! Today s astonishing performance saw him become the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup favourite. Along with Cox Plate favourite Zaaki, Incentivise is the name on everybody s lips with spring fast approaching.
