Trainer Patrick Payne has fond memories of last year's Warrnambool
Trainer Patrick Payne has fond memories of last year’s Warrnambool May Racing Carnival thanks to his Grand Annual Steeple success with veteran jumper Awakening Dream...While Awakening Dream is back to defend his Grand Annual crown, it is his stablemate Lord Of The Song, who tackles Tuesday’s $100,000 Brierly Steeplechase (3450m), that has Payne excited ahead of Warrnambool’s three-day carnival. Lord Of The Song is likely to go around as one of the leading fancies on Tuesday on the back of his most recent performance over obstacles, when accounting for a class field in the Von Doussa Steeplechase (3250m) at Oakbank over the Easter period.
