One Bold Cat’s Arrowfield Stud Plate victory - owner-breeders Eddie and Nicola BourkeTaranaki enthusiast Eddie Bourke has probably lost count of how many times he has celebrated wins by horses he has bred and raced, but events of the past week have trumped any before them.
Last Wednesday at Matamata One Bold Cat went to the top of Bourke’s list by winning the rescheduled Gr. 1 Arrowfield Stud Plate. Closer to home three days later at Hawera, his fellow Robbie Patterson-trained The Hottie completed a massive double with victory in one of the province’s major races, the Gr. 3 Grangewilliam Stud Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes.
