Ciaron Maher claims stunning The Everest-Caulfield Cup double as Bella Nipotina and Duke De Sessa triumph

ABC  

Leading trainer Ciaron Maher has capped off a stunning day by adding a Caulfield Cup win to his earlier triumph in The Everest. Maher's charge Duke De Sessa — ridden by Harry Coffey — claimed victory in the $5 million Caulfield Cup late on Saturday afternoon. Maher could not attend the Caulfield Cup as he was in Sydney to see seven-year-old mare Bella Nipotina win the $20 million The Everest at Randwick. Ridden by Craig Williams and trained by Maher, Bella Nipotina went wide and finished strongly in the straight to win narrowly from 2022 winner Giga Kick in the world's richest race on turf. "I just couldn't believe it that he kept running and the Caulfield Cup was going to have Harry Coffey's name next to it," Coffey said.
