(Photo by Ross Holburt/Racing Photos) Despite suffering defeat at Flemington last weekend as an odds-on favourite, Berkshire Breeze will still proceed to the Group 3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at the same track on September 14. The British import, who had won his previous three starts in impressive fashion, was beaten by two and a half lengths by Horrifying in last Saturday’s 2530-metre race. However, trainer Ciaron Maher confirmed that the Group 3 contest, which offers a ballot exemption to the Melbourne Cup for the winner, remains the goal. “It was another good run,” Maher told Racing.com. “The winner went very well and he’s a horse in form, so nothing’s changed, we will continue. “His target race for this preparation has been the Archer, so he will have a light few days freshen up as his normal routine and we’ll work him down into the Archer.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
