Iron-horse Denoninator could be headed for next month's Ballarat Cup after scoring another Eagle Farm win on Saturday afternoon.
Denoninator has been the mainstay of the John Symons-Sheila Laxon training partnership since they moved from Victoria to the Sunshine Coast in April.
The gelding has had 14 starts since May, winning four and being minor placed a further six times.
Denoninator ($2.40) made it three wins from five starts at Eagle Farm when he scored by 1-3/4 lengths to My Diamantine ($7.50) in the Driver Recruitment Handicap.
Symons said Denoninator was a tough horse who just loved racing, especially at Eagle Farm.
“He is going to get up in the weights. Long-term we might look at the Brisbane Cup because he is a genuine stayer who would love the 2400 metres,” Symons said.
“But short-term we are tempted to sneak him back to Victoria for the Ballarat Cup.”
The 2016 edition of the Ballarat Cup will be run on Saturday, November 19.
