Cullen bouncing fit for Cup after Tassie victory

5 January 2012 - Champion local trainer Glenn Douglas said last night that the State's best mare Make Mine Cullen will be fit and ready to tackle next week's $50,000 Group 2 PEtstock Bendigo Pacing Cup. "She's as good as gold, she will be ready for the Cup," Douglas declared. Make Mine Cullen was a scratching from the Group 1 Victoria Cup last month after suffering a deep seated hoof abscess.  The mare was going into that feature race off the back of her second Tailamade Lombo victory. Douglas shipped her to Tasmania on New years day and teh mare won the feature George Johnson in Hobart. Raced on lease by Anderson Racing, Make Mine Cullen is already the winner of $635,000 in stakes. The Christian Cullen mare has won three of her last four starts. Her last Country Cup triumph was in the Group 2 Kilmore Cup in October 2010. - David Aldred
