The Kav Show's off and rolling for the spring and it's a spot of 'December' that may give him a big November...Yep, the imported December Draw seems to have Cups written all over him. He was impressive when winning the 2000m Banjo Paterson at Flemington. Mark Kavanagh says: 'He'll go straight to the paddock now and be prepared for the cups...He's shown us that in two starts in Australia he may have what it takes in the spring...He had a long flight over and he arrived on my doorstep with a shagg

The Kav Show's off and rolling for the spring and it's a spot of 'December' that may give him a big November...Yep, the imported December Draw seems to have Cups written all over him.

Mark Kavanagh says: 'He'll go straight to the paddock now and be prepared for the cups...He's shown us that in two starts in Australia he may have what it takes in the spring...He had a long flight over and he arrived on my doorstep with a shaggy coat, but in a short time he's shown us enough to push on to later in the year.'

He says: 'He's not wound up, there's still something in the tank, and that's how you'd like to have them.'
