‘Gee, I was lucky’: Collett steers Diamil clear of Summer Cup chaos

Jason Collett's Diamil won the Summer Cup at Randwick on Monday. The jockey was going to follow his stablemate Lion's Roar but changed his mind and took Dienil from just off the fence to 10 wide. He followed Berdibek into the race and collared him in the final stages to win by a short neck. Sky Lab won by half a head. Hugh Bowman spent Christmas at home with his family in Hong Kong. He was concussed in a fall at Sha Tin on Christmas Eve. It was his first time at 2000m. His jockeying partner Zac Lloyd's protest was upheld.

Irish import Diamil out toughs them in Summer Cup

Irish import Diamil out toughs them in Summer Cup

He didn't have much luck in the Group 2 Ingham a fortnight ago, but the John O'Shea-prepared Diamil ($8) has made amends taking out the $200000 Group 3 Summer Cup at Royal Randwick. It was a genuinely run affair with Grandslam setting a hectic tempo in front over the staying test of 2000m, but come the 300m mark they were eight and nine across the…

Icebath was coming off a benchmark 78 win when nosed out by Colette in the 2020 Golden Eagle and started at double-figure odds when pipped by Cascadian in the following year's Doncaster Mile. In that vein,…
