Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 11, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 11, 2018 Following a luckless run when a beaten favourite in the G1 Star Doncaster Mile last weekend, Godolphin’s Kementari (Aus) (Lonhro {Aus}) will now enjoy a spell out of training as connections look forward to resuming his programme in the spring. “He will head out to the paddock and enjoy a good break and I’m sure we will see an even stronger version of him next time he’s in training,” trainer James Cummings told Racing And Sports. Kementari won the G1 Randwick Guineas in March and ran a great race against his elders when third to Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) and Happy Clapper (Aus) (Teofilo {Ire}) in the G1 George Ryder S. at Rosehill two weeks later. The colt was made favourite for the Doncaster but had his path blocked on several occasions, eventually finishing an eased down tenth. “He pulled up very well and as fresh as he was going into the race, largely on account of the fact that he was locked away all of the way up the straight and never got clear, even until it was all over,” Cummings said. Reflecting on his season that also included a win in the G3 Eskimo Prince S. and the G2 Hobartsville S. Cummings added, “He had a preparation we can all be very proud of. We look forward to seeing the colt train on as a 4-year-old next season because he looks like he has got heaps left to offer for the stable.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
