Pride Of Jenni was run down in a King Charles Stakes boilover as Joe Pride’s Ceolwulf crashed the party for Australian racing’s newest cult hero.
Pride Of Jenni was a betting drifter and couldn’t hold off a late challenge from the Epsom winner in the $5 million group 1 at Royal Randwick.Declan Bates set another sizzling pace on Pride Of Jenni, who wowed crowds with her runaway win in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at the same track in April, and fought off all challengers until Ceolwulf emerged from the pack and collared Ciaron Maher’s mare.
“I’ve been confident he’s on that path towards being one of the best horses around. After today, he’s there. He’s on his way. I think he’s already a star. “I was very confident in my horse,” Schofield said. “We know the stamina he’s got and we saw the turn of foot he has last start in the Epsom. It’s very rare for a horse to have both of those things, and he’s just the best-tempered horse. He’s improving all the time too, which is scary.”Former Everest champion Think About It miraculously got back to his feet after collapsing on the track in front of stunned racegoers during the Sydney Stakes.
Trainer Joe Pride said: “We’ll get him home and take good care of him. I doubt we’ll ever see him race again.” “I’ve got so much faith and love for this horse,” Parr said. “It is just remarkable. When you know you can get on a horse and you know they’ll perform for you .”Murwillumbah trainer David McColm has dreamed of winning The Kosciuszko for the past couple of years with Far Too Easy, and on Saturday the dream came true to cap a remarkable comeback fairytale.
“All credit to Craig. He jumped on a plane, he flew up from Melbourne for his barrier trial,” McColm said. “A lot of jockeys don’t do that. He took the initiative, he wanted to be a part of it and he wanted to see what he was like in the barriers and it paid dividends today.”“That second horse is a really good horse. So it’s no mean feat. He made us half-a-kilo better than beating us last year,” Williams said. “Today our horse was just in the right shape.
