New South Wales trainer David McColm paid tribute to Chris Caserta following Saturday’s win from his galloper Far Too Easy at Doomben.
The racing world is mourning the tragic passing of the much-loved jockey and Saturday’s meeting at Doomben was extremely emotional, especially when the McColm-trained Far Too Easy saluted in the Winning Partner Plate.
Caserta rode the two-year-old in his first three starts, including his maiden victory at Grafton in June whilst also doing a lot of work early on in the career of this gelding out of All Too Hard.
Speaking with Chris Nelson on SEN Track, McColm reflected on the past few days and the work Caserta did.
“Chris was working here at Mooloolaba for a few months and was pivotal in those early days when doing track work for me and identifying the fact that the horse did have ability," he said.
“Leading into those first two starts at Grafton he was quite dynamic, and he probably should’ve won his next start but he missed the kick.”
As for what’s next for this talented galloper, Far Too Easy will be targeted towards the Magic Millions Guineas for three-year-old’s over 1400m, where he’s currently rated an $11 chance.
“We are definitely on target to head to the Guineas and that’s the main goal,” he said.
