Support is warming up for Kiwi stayer Harris Tweed for Sat's BMW...NZ Thoroughbred News says: 'Twelve months ago, New Zealand trainers Murray and Bjorn Baker cashed in on a slice of Golden Slipper Day action at Rosehill, when their rising staying star Harris Tweed (NZ) stormed home to win the Grp 2 Tulloch Stakes (2000m). This year, the Cambridge-based trainers are eyeing up an ever bigger wedge of the rich autumn spoils, with Harris Tweed (Montjeu) set to contest the A $2.25million The BMW (2400m) on Saturday.' According to sportsbet.com.au, bets of up to $44,000 have been placed on the 2009 AJC Derby runner-up, who has firmed from $41 to $21 in the BMW market.
