Rosehill Gardens hosts the 66th running of the Listed $160,000 Bowerman Winter Cup on Saturday as part of Australian Turf Club’s series of winter middle distance and staying events across June.

Saturday’s 10-race card has attracted 144 entries with the Listed-Bowermans Winter Cup followed in coming weeks by the $160,000 Listed-W J McKell Cup at Rosehill Gardens on 17 June and $150,000 Stayers Cup at Royal Randwick over 2600m on 24 June.

Sydney’s 12-time premiership winning trainer Chris Waller has a strong hand in Saturday’s feature with three runners including the early TAB Fixed Odds favourite Al Aabir ($3.50-$3.70) with jockey Kerrin McEvoy.

Chris Waller has won three of the past nine runnings of the Winter Cup and also has Desert Icon (Brett Prebble) $8-$7.50 and Shameless Miss (Kathy O’Hara) $15-$16 in the race on the stable’s home track.

Jockey Kerrin McEvoy rode Niwot to victory in the 2009 Winter Cup before that horse went on to win a Schweppes Sydney Cup – a double also completed in recent years by Knights Order (2021 Winter Cup and 2022 Schweppes Sydney Cup).

Jockey Sam Clipperton for trainer Annabel Neasham rides second favourite Spirit Ridge ($6).

Clipperton rode the remarkable Destiny’s Kiss to victory in the Winter Cup in 2019 some six years after that horse won his own first Winter Cup at Rosehill Gardens.
