The Lundholm’s are a central west racing institution and the historic Dubbo Gold Cup and Sunday’s TAB Cup Prelude and feature sprint lead-up day has always been high on their agenda.

Dubbo-based trainer Clint Lundholm will be making the 320km round trip to Coonamble next Sunday with a small army of horses aimed at the feature race.

Trainer Brett Robb’s view of emerging sprinter Morgenstern goes on the line to a degree when the in-form gelding tackles open company for the first time at Warren on Sunday.

Under normal circumstances, if Dubbo trainer Brett Robb was to win Sunday’s $150,000 Newhaven Park Western Districts Country Championships he’d say it’d be the highlight of his week.

Ben Looker could easily have been sitting at home watching Tuesday’s transferred Newhaven Park WRA Country Championships Qualifier (1400m) at Coonamble but a nudge from his manager got him off the couch and onto Activation’s back.
