Trainer Joe Pride is not afraid to travel his horses to where he feels they can win, and this was once again on display on Saturday with 5yo Shamus Award mare The Black Cloud having just her second start away from home, charging late to win the $160,000 Listed BRC Bribie Handicap (1000m) at Eagle Farm.
