Horse of the Week: Berry Delicious

Published: 20 Jul 2015

Horse of the Week - The very genuine Berry Delicious won again at Rosehill Gardens

She's the type of horse you would love to have a yard full of. BERRY DELICIOUS once again showed determination and a rapid turn-of-foot to bring up a hat-trick of wins at Rosehill Gardens on the weekend.

Waller's SENSE AND REASON had sprinted just as well as her to take the lead, but Jason Coyle's filly showed more fight over the last furlong. A performance worthy of this week's 'Horse of the Week'.

She'll be given a break now and tested against the better horses in the Spring.

Determined win - Berry Delicious was much too strong down the straight

Quick Facts

She was lucky to claim the win on the weekend, almost walking out on track without her lead bag before a race official spotted it was missing. Trainer Jason Coyle put his hand up for the potentially costly mistake.
Winona Costin brought up her 40th City win for the season on her.
She must be lucky, Jason Collett broke a 62 race City losing streak on her when she won last December.
She'll have a spell now and will come back in the Spring, targeting the Sheraco Stakes-Golden Pendant double
She doesn't have the muscle and power of others yet. There is room for her to develop, and she might need to if she's going to measure up on the drier tracks during the Carnival.

All smiles - Berry Delicious comes back to scale on the weekend
