Racing: Graeme Rogerson plots leap from Ruakaka to Cox Plate with Sharp 'N' Smart

Graeme Rogerson's 3-year-old horse, Sharp 'N' Smart, won a race at Ruakaka on Saturday. It was his first start since showing promise during a Queensland winter campaign. He will now head to Australia for a campaign in either Sydney, Melbourne or both. Graeme has been down this path before, training champion stallion Savabeel to win the Cox Plate in 2004. Imperatriz is still on track for the second day of the Hastings carnival, even after finishing unplaced in the Tarzino on Sunday.
