Given the biggest opportunity in her career thus far, Tahlia Hope has been rewarded with the ride on Ho Ho Khan in the Gr1 Australian Cup at Flemington tomorrow.
A mark of loyalty by Trainer Mitch Freedman elected to leave the partnership together since their win in the Gr3 Hobart Cup and a gallant second under a big weight in the Launceston Cup. The former Hong Kong galloper is a $41 chance to win Saturday’s feature event but longer priced runners have shocked punters in modern times. A rejuvenated galloper since his return to Australia had a little freshen up from his Tasmanian conquests and will use this race as a stepping stone towards the Sydney Cup over two miles. It is another feather in Tahlia’s cap after claiming her biggest win on board the galloper in the Gr 3 Hobart Cup and no doubt she will hold her own against Australia’s top jockeys.
