Queensland horseman Bruce Hill has trained hundreds of horses but he struggles to think of one tougher than Bodega Negra.
The 6-year-old will be lining up for his 54th race start and his 13th this season in the Open Handicap (1800m) at the Gold Coast today.
Hill has a lot
of time for Bodega Negra although he would never put him in the class of his top horses, such as Man Of His Word or Teronado.
"As for being the toughest horse I have had I don't know, but I can't think of one tougher off hand.
"But as long as there is a bit of rain about and the track is soft he is always competitive. He has won seven races and nearly $400,000 so I would love a few more like him.
