Trainer Garry Lunn believes the switch of Sunday’s $65,000 Cowra Lamb Cowra Cup (1600m) to Orange is a huge advantage for his in-form galloper Knife’s Edge to claim another country cup this preparation.

A veteran marvel with a huge impost and a young apprentice are both the sentimental and TAB race favourites in heavy conditions at the Bathurst TAB meeting on Tuesday - transferred from Orange.

It’s family rivalry personified at Monday’s Wellington TAB meeting and an intriguing set of circumstances sees veteran marvel Careering Away the best of good things according to accomplished trainer Garry Lunn.

The interminable bond between racing and Rugby League evaluates for a super weekend for locals and the hordes of visiting enthusiasts to Mudgee where an eight-race TAB meeting on Sunday follows Saturday’s annual NRL confrontation between Manly and the Canberra Raiders.
