Gai Waterhouse has fired the first shots in the upcoming spring Cups war with her declaration that Scone winner Tullamore is a Melbourne Cup prospect. First, though, she will throw Tullamore in the deep end in feature races in Sydney and Brisbane. There's no doubt that Gai has a pretty smart stayer on her hands. Tullamore shrugged off his 60kgs impost to win over 2200m at Scone - not that he beat much. He will meet tougher rivals in next Sat's Listed $100,000 McKell Cup (2400m) at Rosehill ahead
