ROSEHILL
Bourke’s Law rules the opposition
SYDNEY: Bourke’s Law may have a hole in the neck, but he showed it did not affect his racing ability when he won the Kentucky Fried Chicken Stakes over 1400 m at Rosehill yesterday..
Part-owned by Taree detectives Dan Bourke and Peter Thomas, the impressive three-year-old gelding is named after the television series, Bourke’s Law.
Bourke’s Law, who has won $18,740 in stakes, was bought at the Scone Yearling Sales early last year for $800.
“This was because all other prospective buyers shunned him because of his gaping hole in the near side of his neck”, Thomas said.
‘The large indention, the size of a fist, is the result of an injection mishap when he was a weanling.
Bourke’s Law, the 5-4 favourite, trained by Max Lees at Broadmeadow and ridden by John Wade, came away over the final stages to win by 5½ lengths from Kaidaham, 5-1, with Star Power, 4-1, a long neck away third.
