(Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Epimeles “pulled up really well” after his gallop at Moonee Valley on Tuesday morning, as he gears up for his spring return at the track this Saturday following a minor setback. The talented three-year-old son of Arrowfield Stud’s Dundeel was initially scheduled to race in the Group 3 McNeil Stakes (1200m) last Saturday, but will now target the Listed McKenzie Stakes (1200m) at The Valley instead. “He’s a big, roomy, big-striding horse that sort of likes those bigger tracks, but he was on the right leg. He got on the right leg today and that was the main thing,” co-trainer Natalie Young, who partners with Trent Busuttin, told Racing.com. “He’s quite a versatile horse, he’s got good gate speed, can sit up on speed, and he can also take a little bit of a sit. “He’s forward enough, fit enough, kicked off over 1300 metres last time, and he’s back to the 1200 metres, but he goes good fresh and he’s one of our nicest three-year-olds.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
