Tommy Berry banking on Expert in the Golden Eagle
Tommy Berry is riding Military Expert in the Golden Eagle on Saturday. He has drawn one of the widest gates each year. Funstar was sent out favourite and beat just one rival home from gate 18 last year, while Laws Of Indices ran fifth from barrier 16 last time. Ten per cent of $5.25 million first prize goes to the Team Tye Foundation. It was established by Berry's friend Tyeng Angland and his wife Erin after the top hoop became a quadriplegic following a race fall in Hong Kong. The Foundation aims to support injured racing participants and their families.
