Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 13 Journalists Share Posted September 13 Pinstriped ridden by Ben Allen winning the Memsie Stakes at Caulfield. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Enver Jusufovic is aiming for back-to-back Group 1 victories with Pinstriped, following the gelding’s Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) triumph, as he prepares to contest the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington this Saturday. Pinstriped will face tough competition from the likes of Mr Brightside, Antino, Pride Of Jenni, and interstate challengers Via Sistina and Atishu. However, Jusufovic remains confident that the seven-time winner is poised for his best campaign yet. “He’s a six-year-old now, and I think stats will show you that Pride Of Jenni and Mr Brightside performed at their ultimate as six-year-olds,” Jusufovic told RSN. “The plan with this horse was always that he would improve as he got older if I managed him properly. “So far, I’ve done that, but he has to prove it again this weekend. “In the Group 1s, you can’t hide from the opposition. There’s a lot more depth in this race compared to the Memsie, but he goes in there with winning form.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
