That winning feeling

ABOUT two years ago Eastender was close to being sacked and sent to pony club duties ... yesterday, Tasmania’s most promising stayer delivered a career-best performance to score an emphatic victory in the $250,000 Hobart Cup at Elwick. Trainer Barry Campbell (left) and jockey Craig Newitt (right) were ecstatic after the victory, which has Eastender on track to tackle the Launceston Cup later this month, as well as the Adelaide Cup on March 11.
