Lucrative Cup bonuses

The connections of Five To Midnight had an added incentive for aiming the stayer at Saturday’s A$2 million Sydney Cup (3200m) at Randwick. He will claim a A$100,000 bonus for the owners and A$50,000 to trainer Lisa Latta if he wins or runs a place. Five To Midnight qualified for the bonus by finishing runner-up in last month’s Auckland Cup (3200m).
