Spieth

Trainer Bryce Heys is banking on the big race prowess of Hugh Bowman to find a winning path for his New Zealand-bred sprinter Spieth in Saturday's Gr.1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington.
Heys' talented son of Thorn Park has drawn the ace, which isn't seen as the ideal gate for the four-year-old.
"If I had the option of choosing a barrier for Spieth, the inside wouldn't be my top choice," he said.
"He is a horse that needs room, but you never know how the race will unfold, it may work out on Saturday.
"Hughie will come up with a plan, he knows how to ride the straight course."
