Former Godolphin galloper Squeezebox is poised to score a breakthrough win for Wyong trainer Kim Waugh when it lines up in Thursday\u2019s Davali Thoroughbreds Class 1 Handicap at Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Previously prepared by James Cummings, the four-year-old gelding by Epaulette and out of handy middle distance performed mare Zydeco won a maiden at Hawkesbury and contested the Group 3 Grand Prix Stakes at Eagle Farm late last year.<\/p>\n

Since joining the Waugh stable, Squeezebox has had two starts and has finished third in each of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a handy horse for the stable to pick up,\u201d said Waugh, whose husband Mark is among the new part owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe gave him a couple of trials before he had his first run for us. He got home well to finish third at Wyong and then he backed that up with another third in a small field at Kembla Grange.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlysha Collett has ridden him in one of the trials and both his race starts since he came to us and she will stick with him at Newcastle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s drawn awkwardly out a bit wide so it will be up to Alysha to sort that out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waugh has two other runners at Newcastle with Collett to ride Rhinestone Lad and Jay Ford partnering Community when they clash in the A-Plus Contracting & Poly Welding Provincial Benchmark 64 Handicap (1850m).<\/p>\n

\u201cRhinestone Lad is a son of Savabeel and he did a good job to score at Tamworth two starts back when he hit the line really well from back in the field,\u201d Waugh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Godolphin galloper Squeezebox is poised to score a breakthrough win for Wyong trainer Kim Waugh when it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-172368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
