'This is Kerrin's horse. He should be here today, not me' 🥹
Chad Schofield pays tribute to Kerrin McEvoy after winning the Golden Eagle on Skyhook, who McEvoy missed out on riding because of a ban.
Two runners for two winners at @nowraraces, with COSMIC EAGLE (Deep Field x Sweet Eagle) and @keaganlatham flying home to make it back-to-back wins! 🦅
Not a bad way to round out a pretty nice weekend!
"We've done this for every person living with Type 1 in Australia" 💖
Skyhook's win meant the world to Claire McCarthy and the team at Breakthrough T1D!
"I felt like Decorum had us a couple of times but my horse pinned his ears back and was in for the fight.”
