The transfer of the Armidale Cup meeting to Tamworth on Sunday means the feature race not only changes venue anything but a cup party will be run over 1600m instead of 1900m. Despite that, Armidale-based trainer Stirling Osland isn’t phased in the slightest with the early favourite, Point Counterpoint.
The gelding has returned better than ever, as evidenced by his tenacious last-start win in a Highway Handicap at Kembla Grange, fighting back on the line to beat Lord Desanimaux over 1600m. Jenny Duggan rides Point Counterpoint to victory in a Highway Handicap at Kembla Grange last start. He has come back a better horse than he was last preparation. He did run into some pretty tough competition at the back end of last campaign, but he has come back bigger and stronger than what he was as a three-year-old.
This race is probably a bonus as we originally had him pegged for another Highway, but he won that class 3 and he wasn’t eligible thereafter, so we had to re-evaluate where to go with him, and this looked suitable. Osland also makes a strong case for his lightly raced four-year-old Golden Point, which will be ridden by Grant Buckley. There was merit to his run last start too. I know it only reads a fifth on paper, but not a lot of horses made ground in that race, even the odds-on pop we sat on the back of. I don’t think coming back to 1200m will be a trouble for him.
With them rolling along a bit more it should help him settle better if anything. Mare Deep Mirror is a huge beneficiary of getting a drier track, according to Osland. On tracks rated a soft 5 or better, she’s had four runs for us for three placings and a win, but on a soft 6 or worse all four of her runs have been duds. The better the track is the better she’ll go.
She’ll run a much better race than last start. Sports news, results and expert commentary. Sign up for our Sport newsletter. Please log in with your username or email to continue.

Punch holes in the center cup. The holes should be level and even. The final result should appear to have four equally spaced and perpendicular holes near the rim of the center cup. Make the bottom hole in the center cup.
Use a pushpin to punch a small hole in the bottom of the center cup. Then use scissors to make the hole slightly bigger, so a pencil can fit through the hole and sit loosely. Insert the straw into a cup. Fit a straw through the hole in one of the cups that has one hole punched in it. Do this same procedure with another straw and another cup with one hole punched in it. Afterward, you should have to cups with two straws coming out from their sides. Fit a straw through the center cup.
Once the straw comes out the other end of the center cup, feed the straw through another cup with one hole punched in it. Repeat this step with the other cup and attached straw. Fit the second straw and cup through the center cup. Feed the straw attached to the other one hole-pinched cup through the other two holes in the center cup. When the straw is through the two holes, attach another one hole-punched cup onto the end of the straw. Insert the pencil into the center cup.
