JOCKEY Comments:
Greg Cheyne sounded really enthusiastic about his chance on Whisky Baron:
”Since being gelded he is improving all the time and this race will show us just how good he is” – Greg Cheyne
When asked who his dangers were he said Legal Eagle was the obvious horse but he said he thought Gold Standard was a good 3 year old.
