Lismore trainer Daniel Bowen is hopeful Tectonic Plate can be part of a two-pronged attack on next month’s Listed Weetwood Handicap if she passes her next test at Doomben on Saturday.

Steve Butcher, the retired baker (there’s no candlestick maker in this story), reckons after having had more than 100 horses trained by Daniel Bowen at Lismore the pair are finally poised to make a big noise together in a big race - The Kosciuszko.

“David versus Goliath”. That’s the task Lismore trainer Daniel Bowen says he faces when he takes on the might of the Matthew Dunn stable in Saturday’s $150,000 Newhaven Park NRRA Country Championships (1400m).
