Wall Street chasing overdue win in Mile

Thursday 14 March 2013, 5:22pm

Mike Moroney is looking for veteran Wall Street to snap his winless run in the Golden Mile at Bendigo ahead of a planned overseas mission.

Moroney is hoping the Group One winner will still be going well to contest the Singapore Airlines International Cup in May, but first the trainer's attention is on Saturday's $150,000 Golden Mile (1600m).

Wall Street was one of the luckless runners in last weekend's Group Two Blamey Stakes when he was held up on the fence until late.

He came in third behind Puissance De Lune and Budriguez who dead-heated but Moroney believes Wall Street should have won.

"It looked the right race for him last week because he was well-weighted and to see him boxed away on the rail was disappointing," Moroney said.

Eight-year-old Wall Street, who hasn't won since the Group One Emirates Stakes in 2010, has come through that run well and is favourite for the Golden Mile where he'll carry 60kg.

Tasmanian galloper Banca Mo has been scratched.

Wall Street's three starts this campaign have been a fourth in the C F Orr Stakes, second in the Kilmore Cup and third in the Blamey.

"If he takes the same form from his past two starts he'll be the horse to beat on Saturday," Moroney said.

Moroney said he was "pretty keen" to get Wall Street to the Singapore race.

Stablemate Zabisco will also take his place in the Golden Mile while Moroney is sweating on scratchings in the Bendigo Guineas (1400m) as Bishops Castle is the second emergency.
