Meet Cranny’s coolest Cat

By Bridget Brady
As the News reported last week, the eight-time Group One winner has been retired after it was found to have a fractured sesamoid.
Cranbourne Turf Club chief executive Neil Bainbridge said the club planned to host a meet and greet day in the short term, and conduct a feature race in Apache Cat’s honour later next year that would become an annual event.
“It will be a race that recognises the great deeds of arguably one of the greatest horses to come out of Cranbourne,” Mr Bainbridge said.
The horse had been the face of the club and its marketing material, and had a cult following at Cranbourne, Mr Bainbridge said.
