Race Talk: Kasim makes most of late callup

Harry Kasim did James McDonald proud by winning today's $25,000 Waverley Cup on Better Together.

Apprentice Kasim was called up late when McDonald chose to bypass the meeting.

He gave the John Sargent galloper a cosy run in behind the leaders, hooked her out approaching the turn and they had enough in reserve to stave off a determined Petergabriel.

Spartanicus, who enjoyed a soft run just off the pace, fought hard for third. The well backed Mungo Jerry got too far back and ran on fairly.

McDonald also gave up the winning ride on Deecruz, another Sargent galloper, in the second. Mark Hills was the beneficiary there.

Sargent also scored with Keep Winning  in the third.

Jockey Vanessa Johnston enjoyed a double with Hell Yeah and Mini Pearl.
