(Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) The Nick Ryan-trained Munhamek secured his 12th career victory on Saturday by winning an open handicap over 1620 metres at Flemington. Carrying a hefty 61.5 kilograms, the gelding earned a spot in the Listed Winter Championship Final (1600m) at the same track on July 6 after defeating Windstorm by half a length. Ryan mentioned that no plans had been set beyond this weekend, but all options, including a shot at the Winter Championship Final, the Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes (1400m), and the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m), are on the table. “It’s hard to stop when they’re going this well, isn’t it?” Ryan said. “We’ll see what weight he gets, I suppose, but it’s two weeks (away), and then we’ve got those early weight-for-age races. “He’s got that much residual fitness; he’s been in work about 15 months. “We’ll have a board meeting on Monday morning, I’m sure, and we’ll discuss it, but he’s an eight-year-old, rising nine-year-old gelding in this form, so it might be a strike while the iron’s hot.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
