In a thrilling twist of feline fate, One Bold Cat is set to strut his stuff at Te Rapa this Saturday, showcasing not only his racing prowess but also his knack for stealing the spotlight!
Trained by Robbie Patterson, One Bold Cat has been on a winning streak, proving that he’s not just another pretty face at the races. After winning the Arrowfield over 1600m, he’s ready to tackle the longer 2040m distance, and rumor has it, he’s been kicking up a storm in training—literally!
“He was squealing and kicking like he just spotted a laser pointer!” Patterson exclaimed, clearly proud of his feline superstar. With a track record that shines on both good and heavy surfaces, One Bold Cat is prepared to take on whatever Mother Nature throws his way.
But it’s not just about the race; it’s also about the drama! Jockey Craig Grylls was initially set to ride One Bold Cat but had to bow out for a stablemate. Patterson lamented, “I wanted Gryllsy because he’s my main rider and a bloody good mate, but the owners pay the bills!” Talk about a cat fight behind the scenes!
As the race day approaches, all eyes will be on One Bold Cat and his competition, including the heavy track-challenged favorite, Campionessa. Will One Bold Cat take home the trophy, or will he end up just being the purr-fect distraction?
