Chief Stipe Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Last year’s Auckland Cup winner Ladies First has suffered a setback and has been ruled out of the Sydney autumn carnival. The Allan Sharrock-trained mare had been on a path to the Sydney Cup but pulled up sore after finishing 10th in the Gr. 1 Haunui Farm WFA Classic. “It’s a minor strain in a tendon, so she will probably have three months to get over it,” Sharrock said. “With three months off, she will be fine. “She had come up really, really well and I was quite excited. Her run at Otaki was probably a little bit bemusing. It was a pass, but it wasn’t what I wanted. Then on Sunday she was sore and I thought it might have been a stone bruise but it turns out it was a slight tear in the tendon.” Ladies First has won nine of her 24 starts to date including three at stakes level.
