South Australian journeyman Kym Healy has ended his winter pilgrimage to the Top End in Darwin and is hopeful of landing another Betoota Cup on Saturday.
Healy, who once raced camels for a living, will saddle up Equal Balance and Grinzinger Bishop in the 1600 metre Betoota Cup.
The Betoota Cup forms part of the Simpson Desert Racing Carnival alongside next month’s Birdsville and Bedourie Cups.
Healy etched his name in Betoota Cup history by becoming the first to train three straight Betoota Cups in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
He also won the Betoota Cup with Cashing Up in 2019.
