Henry said he would not want La Rioja racing on hard ground and that a bit of cut is the key to her. Well done both Barney and RV on the cosy winner and Al Kazeem hit 2 from 3 too I backed Sailor's Warn LTO Oddy on the level at 50's (tailed off) ... never copped it was out today until I read on here, so close at 80's today, look's to be retaining some ability and should be popping up in the future and hopefully at decent odds. A change is as good as a rest as they say.
Lucida, trained by Jim Bolger has had to be retired after sustaining an injury at home. She won the Rockfel at HQ last year before some solid efforts this season, most notably when being collared late by crack filly Legatissimo in the 1000 Guineas.
