Feroce will be kept to races around the mile distance this spring, with trainer Dom Sutton confirming the $10 million Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill as the four-year-old’s main goal.

The Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) winner is currently enjoying a well-earned break after finishing sixth in the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) on March 29 – his first run beyond a mile – against older weight-for-age horses.

“He went to the paddock last week,” Sutton told Racing.com.

“He’s going to have a really nice break and try to get some good weather before it turns against us in Victoria.”

A runner-up in last year’s Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m), Feroce delivered Sutton his maiden Group 1 win earlier this autumn at Flemington on March 1, confirming his credentials as one of the country’s most exciting young gallopers.

“His grand target will be the Golden Eagle (in the spring),” Sutton added.

“I’ll keep him at a mile for his spring four-year-old campaign and there’s a few nice races on the calendar for him.”
