The Matthew Dale trained Cavalier Charles (Denman) secured his place in the Country Championships Final (1400m) at Randwick on April 2 with victory in yesterday’s Wildcard (1400m) race at Scone.

The 5YO defeated autumn carnival star Shelby Sixtysix at the Sapphire Coast back in January, and is now the winner of three of his four starts. “I’m really happy to win, it was a good solid win and he was strong to the line,” Dale said. “We can ride him from anywhere which is a luxury you don’t get with many horses in big races and he’s one of those horses. I think he deserves his spot.”
