A Seasoned Performer: Torn Gears Up for Another Start
When Torn steps onto the Caulfield track this Saturday, he'll be doing so with a wealth of experience under his belt. This resilient three-year-old, trained by Ben Brisbourne, is set to embark on his 20th start in the Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap (2000m), a testament to his consistent racing schedule and Brisbourne’s commitment to developing the gelding.
While some horses might struggle with such a demanding racing program, Torn has proven to be remarkably durable. Brisbourne has strategically managed his campaign, carefully selecting races to keep Torn competitive and thriving. The 2000m distance of the Handicap presents a new challenge, but one Brisbourne believes Torn is well-equipped to handle.
Building Towards a Peak Performance
“He’s a tough horse, and he’s certainly earned his stripes,” Brisbourne commented. “We’ve been targeting this race for a while now, and I think he’s in a good spot. He’s enjoying his work, and he’s pulled up well from his previous runs.”
Torn’s form has been solid, consistently placing within striking distance. While victory has been elusive, his performances demonstrate a horse with genuine staying ability and a tenacity that is admirable. The handicapper has assessed his recent efforts, and Brisbourne is confident that Torn will receive a fair weight, allowing him to be competitive.

The Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap at Caulfield is known for attracting a competitive field. Several horses are in good form, and the 2000m distance will test the stamina of all contenders. Brisbourne believes that Torn's experience and toughness will be crucial factors in navigating the race.
