Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 26 Journalists Posted May 26 Superstar mare Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai) is set to return to Victoria with a decision to be made on her racing future. Owner Tony Ottobre confirmed to Racing.com on Monday morning that connections had decided to wrap up Pride Of Jenni’s Queensland campaign after a flat performance in Saturday’s Gr.1 Doomben Cup (2000m). However he stopped short of calling time on the three-time Group One winner’s career. That decision will be made once she returns to Victoria and connections have let the dust settle on Saturday’s performance. The star mare led at a fast tempo as usual, but was flat-footed as Antino (NZ) (Redwood) swarmed to the lead, and faded to finish third-last in the Doomben Cup. “She’s pulled up ok – a little bit of a slow recovery, but she has had a crack,” Maher said after the race on Saturday. “I don’t think anything was beating Antino today, by the way he went and the way he won. But Jenni’s physically ok. “She’s had a hard run, but everything seems ok. She’s sound, and apart from her heart rate (being) a little bit high, she’s ok.” Jockey Craig Newitt said Pride Of Jenni was “disappointing” , comparing the performance to her Gr.1 Australian Cup (2000m) defeat two starts ago.
