A West Aussie for Royal Ascot
WA's Champion sprinter Miss Andretti won the Group 1 Australia Stakes in a hand canter at Moonee Valley on Saturday. The powerhouse mare won her second Group 1 race in a fortnight and is now on course for overseas riches.
Currently entered for both Australia's Gr1 Newmarket Handicap & Dubai's Gr1 Golden Shaheen during March, trainer Lee Freedman has the luxury of choice. Following Saturday's win, Lee warned the only certainty in her future campaign is a trip to England in June for Royal Ascot's Gr2 King's Stand Stakes (5 furlongs) & Gr1 Golden Jubilee Stakes (6 furlongs): the 3rd & 4th legs of the 2007 Global Sprint Challenge. Freedman confirmed: "We're keeping her in those races (Newmarket & Golden Shaheen) but we're not guaranteeing we're going anywhere other than to England, because there's a lot of things to be considered in the meantime." I bet there'll be a few West Aussies who make the trip with her too! The question is, what will they look like in top hat and tails?
