RACING.COM - HIGH PRAISE FOR 2018 JERICHO CUP WINNER

Anthony Freedman, Clayton Douglas and tough stayer High Mode etched their names into the history books with victory in Sunday’s $300,000 Jericho Cup (4600m) at Warrnambool.

The much-hyped staying feature – run 100 years after famed whaler Bill The Bastard won the inaugural running of the race in the desert sands of Jericho during WWI - proved an incredible spectacle with High Mode holding out popular 11-year-old Crafty Cruiser and Mornington stayer Havana Haymaker.
