![]() Apache wins Liston battle
Story By Jason Hickson Saturday, 18 August 2007: Top galloper Apache Cat broke a long drought for favourite backers with a strong win in today’s feature race at Caulfield – the Liston Stakes. The last favourite to salute in the key spring feature was Mahogany in the mid nineties and after an early hiccup with the well supported Apache Cat, punters had little to fear in the run to the line. Apache Cat wasn’t the best away but quickly mustered speed to settle third in the box seat for Michael Rodd, behind Live In Vain and Maldivian, before cruising up to that pair in the straight. West Australian galloper Marasco worked home hard to finish a closing second but Rodd was easy on Apache Cat on the line to bring up his second win from as many starts this season. Maldivian held on well for third, while Pompeii Ruler worked home into fourth. “He’s got to stop missing the start – it’s not good for my heart,” ![]() “He probably got to the front a little early but Michael didn’t have to punish him.” Eurell is yet to finalise the spring plans for Apache Cat but is likely to press towards the Group 2 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington when racing returns there on September 8. It was a mixed day for Eurell, who not only won the Liston with Apache Cat but also the Vain Stakes with talented three-year-old Shrewd Rhythm. No sooner had the colt cooled down that news emerged he would be leaving Eurell’s stable to be transferred to David Hayes. In the deal the smart three-year-old will be prepared by Hayes before standing at stud at Linsday Park following his racing career. Eurell said he would be sad to see the colt go but will follow his career with interest. |

![]() Eurell Considers Kelt Stakes For Apache Cat
![]() Story By Chris Scholtz Thursday, 23 August 2007: A New Zealand option has opened up for Melbourne weight-for-age star Apache Cat following his unbeaten start to his spring campaign. Trainer Greg Eurell is considering paying the late entry fee to place Apache Cat in New Zealand's richest race, the $NZ2 million Kelt Stakes (2040m) at Hastings on October 6. "We are certainly putting it in the mix," Eurell said after assessing program options following Apache Cat's victory over Marasco in last Saturday's Liston Stakes at Caulfield. Late entries for the Kelt Stakes close next Wednesday at a fee of $NZ15,000 but there is a later deadline on September 24 at a cost of $NZ45,000. Eurell said Apache Cat will have his next start over 1600m in the $500,00 Makybe Diva (Craiglee) Stakes at Flemington on September 8 when his spring path will become much clearer. Apache Cat has failed in his only two starts beyond 1600m but has the $350,000 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on September 22 and the $500,000 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on October 6 as other possibilities after the Makybe Diva. Eurell also has to consider the Randwick mile double of $400,000 George Main Stakes and $600,000 Epsom Handicap on September 29 and October 6 as another alternative for Apache Cat. Apache Cat failed in the Turnbull Stakes and W.S. Cox Plate when tried beyond 1600m last spring. He has since won five of his seven starts this year over distances from 1200m to 1600m. |
