BARKING Bad will be aimed at the heats of the Group 1 Paws of Thunder (520m) at Wentworth Park on January 14 after scoring a sensational victory in Tuesday’s Group 2 Gosford Gold Cup (515m).
Starting from box seven in the $40,000 feature, Barking Bad got a clear run to the first turn on the outside of pacemaker Knight Sprite (box six) before unleashing a powerful finishing burst to score by one-and-one-quarter lengths in 29.35.
Race favourite Ando’s Mac (box one), which won last year’s Group 1 Melbourne Cup, was far from disgraced in third, three-and-one-quarter-lengths off the winner.
