Weekend Hussler did just enough in the Group 2 Memsie Stakes over 1400m at Caulfield on the 30th August 2008. After taking the length of the straight to run down a glant Maldivian some could question where Weekend Hussler is at this spring. Last season Weekend Hussler would get into the straight after sitting off the pace and just blow the opposition away. But things are different this year due to one factor as trainer Ross McDonald has pointed our, Weekend Hussler is training for further distances.
Last year 1200-1600 was right in Weekend Husslers zone, this year as the connections search for the big three, well at least the Cox plate (2050m) and the Caulfield Cup (2400m) Weekend Hussler is turning more into a stayer then a sprinter like Takeover Target.
