First-time Group 1 trainers Tracey and Lisa Craik have Portland Berty in Sunday's Waterloo Cup, a race that was first run in 1879.
Portland Berty burst into contention for the $30,000 event by running down superstar Bigtime Cooper in last Thursday's Waterloo Cup heat at Cambridge, and the pressure of Group 1 racing was immediately upon Lisa Craik.
"Oh my gosh, I always thought he would be a Group 1 dog but more against his own age first. That heat was his first run in the top class.
"Dad phoned to say congrats, but with a ten day gap to the final I asked him what would you do?"
"Dad" is Northern training legend Ben Craik who retired at the end of last season and his daughters took over.
