Stitt sets Single Spirit for ambitious cups sweep Trainer Ross Stitt has mapped out a three-pronged cups attack for his promising three-year-old Single Spirit. The son of Not A Single Doubt, runner-up to Kurtley in the Grafton Guineas last start, tackles Sunday's $25,000 Sawtell Cup (1516m) at Coffs Harbour. All going well, Stitt plans to back up the gelding in the $80,000 Coffs Harbour Cup (1600m) on August 1 followed by the $60,000 Taree Cup (2000m) on August 18. "He's done really well since Grafton, come on since the run," Stitt said. He's got a good turn of foot with a huge stride. Champion South African-born jockey Glyn Schofield has accepted an invitation to ride at the two-day Coffs Harbour Cup carnival on July 31 and August 1. Schofield and cricket great Doug Walters will be special guests at the sportsmans' breakfast held at the CHRC on the morning of July 31. Leading Brisbane jockey Larry Cassidy will ride the Gold Coast-trained Hour Of Peril in the Coffs Harbour Cup. Hour Of Peril is raced by a syndicate including CHRC president Alan Johnson. Irish jockey Padraig Beggy made a winning Australian debut at Mudgee last Sunday. The rider scored on the Joan Pracey-trained Upstacker. Beggy may have got into a bit of hot water with stewards over his whip use but the Irishman did a good job winning on the gelding, which jumped from barrier 12. Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb scored four winners at the Enngonia Cup meeting last Saturday, including the $9000 feature race with Platinum Touch. His other winners were Annie Be Good, Blades Of Glory and Atabar, the latter trio ridden by Robb's highly promising apprentice Meg Hoey. Many good judges, including experienced race caller Col Hodges, are predicting a bright future for Hoey. Meanwhile, Robb is headed north to Darwin and far north Queensland with a team of horses for his annual trip. The Wagga Wagga premierships were finalised at Tuesday's meeting, with trainer Trevor Sutherland and jockey Nick Souquet taking the titles. Sutherland made it 50 wins for the season courtesy of the win by Bartrev. Sutherland will also claim the SDRA premiership with only two meetings of the season remaining. The jockeys' premiership is a two-horse race between Souquet and Brendan Ward. In what was an incredible finish, Kris Lees has won the Scone trainers' premiership by a solitary win. Lees saddled up four winners on the final day (Monday), the premiership coming down to the final race, which was won by the Lees-trained Fine Bubbles. His other winners were Swanky Beau, Project Compassion and Niobe. His major rival, Paul Messara, had two winners - Battlefront and Forest Way. Melbourne trainer Ross McDonald and media personality "Tommy from Campbelltown" will be special guests at the Taree Cup calcutta held at the racecourse on August 17. McDonald's former star galloper Weekend Hussler will parade on Taree Cup day, Sunday, August 18. The $60,000 Taree Cup (2000m) highlights a strong program for the race club. TAB meetings: Sunday - Coffs Harbour. Monday - Dubbo, Cessnock. Tuesday - Moree. Friday - Goulburn, Taree. Saturday - Lismore.
