Wendy Roche will be popping the champagne after Nettoyer s Queen Of The Turf Stakes win
Wendy Roche will be popping the champagne after Nettoyer’s Queen Of The Turf Stakes victory at Randwick but it won’t be the trainer enjoying a tipple.
Nettoyer is famous for her unorthodox diet of pizza and bubbles and she will get both after scoring her second G1 victory, 12 months after winning the Doncaster Mile over the same course and distance.
“I think the pizza’s on order and she’s already got pink champagne because we thought she would go close. She can have whatever she wants,” Roche said.

Jay Ford has been around long enough to put last weekend’s near miss in the Doncaster behind him as he tries to go one better in a Group 1 at Randwick on Saturday.
Ford just got pipped on the line in the $3 million race on Icebath when Cascadian grabbed them late and he pushed away to pain pretty quickly knowing he had another big job to do seven days later.
