Week review
Tumbarumuba
- Mojo Music made it back-to-back Tumbarumba Cup wins for the stable, following in Eamonn’s Memory’s footsteps after taking out the 2024 edition. Mojo Music was the widest down the straight but just overran her rivals to hand hoop Billy Owen his first Tumbarumba Cup win.
- It could’ve been an even bigger day with the stable recording four minor placings with Miss Beautiful, Noci Di Cocco, Manlore and Rockbarton Shout all finishing in the top three.
Albury
- Thursday’s Albury meeting was abandoned due to hot weather.
