Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 8 Journalists Share Posted February 8 Melbourne Cup placegetter High Emocean (NZ) (Ocean Park) has run her final race and will be sold at auction in Australia in May. The seven-year-old daughter of Ocean Park, who was selected by renowned bloodstock agent John Foote for $80,000 at the 2018 Karaka yearling sale, would go on to win seven races and more than A$1.2 million in prizemoney. Maher informed owners this week of the decision via a lookback video of her career, with the mare having last raced in the Geelong Cup last spring. Having won her maiden at Ballarat in October 2019, it was the winter the following year she put together a hat-trick of wins, with triumphs at Sandown and Caulfield. She would soon after go on to win the Listed R.M. Ansett Classic and later the Group 3 Bendigo Cup, which secured her a start in the 2022 Melbourne Cup with just 50 kilograms. High Emocean would finish a strong, closing third behind Gold Trip (Outstrip) and Emissary (Kingman) under Teo Nugent.
