Flash_BRISBANE, Queensland — New Zealand stayer Apa won the Brisbane Cup at Eagle Farm today to give Aboriginal jockey Darby McCarthy the Queensland Turf Club double…

McCarthy gave all the credit for his win to Apa.

"He's a great little horse, all heart", he said.

On Saturday McCarthy won the Stradbroke on Castanea... and also won the Moreton Handicap on Apa, the first time in post-war years that one jockey had won the three races.

A truly magnificent horse man.
