Mossamine chasing third straight bush Cup

Friday 30 August 2013, 11:11am

The Clint Lundholm-trained Mossamine chases his third successive country Cup success in the $30,000 Moree Cup on Sunday.

The seven-year-old gelding began his spree taking the Forbes Cup (1600m) wire to wire when he raced under former trainer Graeme Rogerson.

Transferred to former champion apprentice Lundholm, Mossamine again showed his rivals a clean pair of heels winning the Narromine Cup (1600m).

"Let's hope it's three in a row and then all going well we'll then try and win the Dubbo Cup with him," Lundholm said.

The $50,000 Dubbo Cup (1600m) is staged on September 15.

Mossamine, a winner of nine from 61 starts, is raced by a syndicate headed by Walgett-based Chris Clemson.

"I'm very lucky to get him," Lundholm said.

"He's the sort of horse that works well. You know you've got a horse under you that is something better than average.

"He's a great horse to do anything with. A pleasure to have around the stables.

Lundholm was taken by Mossamine's Narromine Cup win and he likes his horse's chance at Moree.

"He's drawn well and if he doesn't lead he will take a sit just off them," the trainer said.

"I haven't done a great deal with him coming back to 1400 metres but he looks well and has done well at home."
