It's a case of wetter the better for Hunter syndicators Australian Bloodstock (AB) as they chase a change of luck in the Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday.
AB paid a late entry fee to back-up the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Gold Trip in the $5 million race following his close second in the Caulfield Cup (2400m) on Saturday. That run and predictions of a rain-affected track have led to strong support for Gold Trip, which has been backed from $26 into $14 with TAB.
