Steve White says defending champion Paua Of Buddy is trialling as quick as ever ahead of Sunday night’s Group 2 Bendigo Cup heats (425m).
Paua Of Buddy won the 2021 Bendigo Cup in a scintillating 23.29sec, just .01sec outside the track record set in the heats by Typhoon Sammy.
However, injury and illness have restricted Paua Of Buddy to only 11 starts in the ensuing 12 months (for 4 wins and 6 minor placings) and just 22 starts in his 12-win career.
“We’re getting him ready for the Melbourne Cup – that’s his goal.”
