Kennedy Mile (G1)

Age: 3yo and up WT: 52.0kg Type: OPEN

Former New Zealand-trained mare Shillelagh, now in the Chris Waller stable, followed her promising late-closing third in the recent Tristarc Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m) with her first Group One victory in 19 starts here. She had a good trip from barrier two, racing in fifth place on the rails, behind a good pace. She was angled into clear running by Michael Dee on turning for home, challenged at the 200m and finished too well under her limit weight (52kg) to win well. Tom Melbourne also had a good trip, racing in third place on the rails, briefly looked the winner when he took the lead at the 200m and then held on for second, his fifth such placing in six runs this preparation. The $41 prospect Wyndspelle raced in seventh place on the rails, was fifth at the 200m and kept battling on nicely to take the minor placing while another former New Zealander now in the Chris Waller stable, All Our Roads held on well for (3.1 lengths) fourth after running a bold race in the lead.
