Cheer, cheer for ‘Paps’

Devon Meadows trainer Leigh Carter is ‘shooting for the stars’ with Why Not Paps in the Group 3 Cranbourne Classic series (520m).

Carter realises Why Not Paps is facing the ‘big league’ but is adamant he hasn’t been ‘thrown to the wolves’.

“He’s up to this level,” he said. “You’ll never know if you don’t have a go, and I’m a firm believer any dog can win on any given day.”

Why Not Paps, who is a $201 rank outsider for the series on TAB’s ‘All In’ market, lines up in a Cranbourne Classic heat tomorrow (Race 8, 5.50pm).
