Who Shot Thebarman
Bruno Cannatelli
Veteran stayer Who Shot Thebarman has earned his shot at history with his Gr.2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup (2500m) victory.
A nine-year-old, the New Zealand-bred and owned son of Yamanin Vital will now be given the opportunity to become the oldest winner of the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m).
“You'll see him on the first Tuesday of November,” trainer Chris Waller said. "He's been in the race three times. The first time he ran third, the second time he was knocked over and almost fell. The third time he ran fifth.”
Who Shot Thebarman is raced by brothers Dan, Humphrey, Michael and Shaun O’Leary, who are from the Wanganui and Rangitikei districts.
