Coach David Payne continued his wonderful form vein this spring with Costello shaking his fanciful rivals to win the $ 500,000 Rosehill Gold Cup
The $ 40,000 purchase of a yearling brought his earnings to just under $ 600,000 with Saturday’s win and Payne was delighted to have hit a wet track at the right time
« His last run was on a good three and Tommy (Berry) came in and said, ‘David, he feels it, keep it on a soft surface’ and that’s why we didn’t run him « said Payne
« As soon as it rained I threw him into this race I didn’t think he would have a race to be honest
« But once we got in with 54 kilos and drew one I thought he came in with a scream »
