O'Callaghan Has High Hopes For Now Or Never
Now Or NeverMichael O'Callaghan is hoping smart juvenile Now Or Never can develop into a Classic contender this season.
The Bushranger filly ended last season by finishing last of nine in the Moyglare Stud Stakes, but O'Callaghan is confident that run can be discounted.
The Group One contest came just over two weeks after a fine effort to finish second to Herald The Dawn in the Futurity Stakes and connections feel in hindsight that it was too soon.
