Inverell trainer Todd Payne says he’ll target the 2026 Inverell Cup with his 5-year-old gelding Shamedy after it claimed Sunday’s Guyra Cup at Armidale.
Taking a rails run in the home straight, Shamedy stormed over the top to beat the $2.6 favourite Rematch to take out the 1400m cup.
Payne scored a running double on the day, claiming the final race on the card, with Desert Cougar in the Benchmark 58.
Racing returns to Inverell on November 22nd when the Club hosts its annual Diggers Cup Race Day and the Inverell Picnic Race Club marquee event.
