Bruce Clark's column: The story behind Australia's latest Group 1 winner

Godolphin's Anamoe and Golden Mile won Group 1 races at Caulfield on Saturday. Tuvalu, a $200,000 son of Godolphin sire Kermadec, came second. The horse was driven from Queensland to Caullfield because he was too ill to fly. He was ridden by a jockey who breeds greyhounds. He is trained by an old school horseman who was once linked to one of the most legendary betting plunges in Australian racing.

Tuvalu won the Toorak Handicap at Caulfield on Saturday. The colours of the winning horse are the flag of Romani Gypsies. Chris "Wellsy" Wells' great, great grandmother was a gypsy. Jarrod Fry had never ridden a horse before, but he came to the sport after school. He was trained by Darren Weir. Peter McCallum is the Queensland based part-owner of Tuvalus. Tuvalsu's trainer Lindsey Smith is at Warrnambool this week. Tuversu will be returning home.

Jarrod Fry joined the Group 1 winners list last Saturday. Lindsey Smith worked with legendary trainer Henry Davis. He got the job from John Size. Davis tricked him into taking a bet on Getting Closer at Canterbury in 1982. He took the bet from 100-1 to 7-2. Mark Read looked after Smith. Smith got a job at John size. John is now a king in Hong Kong. Jarrod's jockey Jarrods Fry won the Toorak Handicap on Saturday, while Tuvalu won it on Sunday. The horse was trained by Henry. It was a special horse. They were trained together.
