Another US win for Aussie reinsman

EX-PATRIOT reinsman Brad Chisholm has made another trip to the winners' circle in the United States by combining with Iminurblindspot at Freehold during the weekend.

Chisholm has cut a regular path to the number one stall since leaving Australia, including a recent double at the same venue.

Born in America to Australian parents Kevin and Alison of Sunshine Band fame, Chisholm left the southern hemisphere on a winning note - scoring behind the Kim Procter-trained Abitofadreamer in Geelong at his last Aussie drive in March 2023.

As for his latest success, Chisholm caused an upset with $7.80 shot Iminurblindspot which staved off a late challenge from the favourite, Mansertive.

"I'm loving it here in America," Chisholm said. "Everything from the racing to the lifestyle.

"I wasn't sure what to expect when I left Australia, but now I don't know if I will ever leave here!"

In what could be a boost for Chisholm, he has been confirmed to partner a trio of Aussie pacers at Chester next weekend.

Champion New South Wales horseman Luke McCarthy has sent a small squad across the equator, with Chisholm to be in the cart as three make their northern hemisphere debuts.

Recent trial winners with Chisholm holding the reins, Bondi Lockdown, Mahomes and Muscle Bart are primed for first-up glory according to McCarthy.

"My brothers (Andy and Todd) aren't available as they'll be racing in Kentucky, and Brad drove all three to win trials at Chester last week, so it's fair to stick with Brad and give him the race drives next weekend," McCarthy said.

"Bondi won his trial, while Spirit Of St Louis ran third in the same trial," McCarthy said. "Muscle Bart and Mahomes also won their trials.

"I was really happy with all of them and expect them to be hard to beat."
