Melbourne Cup week always brings back fond memories for veteran trainer John Wallace.

Cossie - a six-year-old mare with just four wins in a 45-start career - will attempt to give veteran Gold Coast trainer John Wallace an overdue win at Beaudesert on Thursday.

Gold Coast trainer John Wallace has prepared some of Queensland’s turf greats over several decades, but will be happy if he can land a winner with his sole runner Cossie at Beaudesert on Tuesday.
