Sydney raid sets up clash between Maher brothers
Thursday, 19 Feb 2026
When the races dry up at home, you hit the road, and that's exactly what veteran campaigner Sibaaq will do this week
as he embarks on a Sydney adventure in pursuit of Group 3 glory.
Trainer Declan Maher believes his eight-year-old warrior Sibaaq is primed to cause an upset as an $17 chance in the $250,000 Parramatta Cup (1900m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, where he'll lock horns with the likes of Travolta ($3.50), older brother Ciaron's runner Piggyback ($4.20) and Campaldino ($7.50).
