Here’s to the Sydney Cup

Here’s Tears has added the Group 3 Sydney Cup to his resume tonight after a dominant all the way victory at Wentworth Park.

Fellow Victorian Sunset Bourbski came from nowhere to finish second in the $100,000 to the winner event over the 720 metre distance.

Here’s Tears, who is trained by master staying conditioner Robert Britton, was without his older brother Tornado Tears after he was scratched from the race due to a torn pad he sustained in the heats last week.

The son of Fernando Bale and Tears Siam is now a winner of 19 races from 50 career starts amassing more than $335,000 in prize money.

Victoria didn’t share the same success in the Million Dollar Chase a couple of races later, which was won by Handsome Prince for Peter Lagogiane.

Waging War finished fourth and Wallbanger a dead heat for sixth, both doing Victoria proud.
