What a run by Leica Larrikin for 2nd at Flemington! It puts the spring Cups right in his sights.

The 5YO is yet to race past 2000m but he'll get his chance at the major cups after his storming run home on the inner behind Elusive Touch in the Aurie's Star, a race which is often a good pointer to the spring.

What a run by Leica Larrikin for 2nd at Flemington! It puts the spring Cups right in his sights. The Melbourne Cup dream turned ugly for trainer Richard Freyer with his unlucky stayer Leica Falcon, but that dream of glory has been resurrected bvy Larrikin, the full brother to Falcon. The 5YO is yet to race past 2000m but he'll get his chance at the major cups after his storming run home on the inner behind Elusive Touch in the Aurie's Star, a race which is often a good pointer to the spring. Leica Larrikin made up ground boldly from near-last at the 200m but was climbing over the backs of tiring horses to find clear running. He was quickly catching the winner but the post arrived too soon.

Just weeks after taking on the mantle of 'best horse in the world' following a devastating 11 length win in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, Dansili entire Harbinger now faces the very real prospect of never racing again following a breakdown during trackwork, reports Breednet.com.au.
