Young training star Correy Grenfell admits to shedding a tear when $22 outsider Knicks Bale defied the odds to win the Group 1 Hume Cup on November 1, the same day her legendary owner/breeder Paul Wheeler was laid to rest.
Emotions are sure to be running high again for Correy and wife Samantha at Sandown Park tonight when they have Wheeler-bred-and-owned finalists in the G1 TAB Melbourne Cup (515m) and G1 Bold Trease (715m).
Kinson Bale (Box 8) is a $13 chance in the Melbourne Cup, while Hume Cup heroine Knicks Bale (Box 5) will continue her remarkable late career resurgence in the G1 Bold Trease, where she’s at $12.
