Epimeles set to kick off spring campaign at Moonee Valley
Epimeles “pulled up really well” after his gallop at Moonee Valley on Tuesday morning, as he gears up for his spring return at the track this Saturday following a minor setback.
The talented three-year-old son of Arrowfield Stud’s Dundeel was initially scheduled to race in the Group 3 McNeil Stakes (1200m) last Saturday, but will now target the Listed McKenzie Stakes (1200m) at The Valley instead.
“He’s a big, roomy, big-striding horse that sort of likes those bigger tracks, but he was on the right leg. He got on the right leg today and that was the main thing,” co-trainer Natalie Young, who partners with Trent Busuttin, told Racing.com.
“He’s quite a versatile horse, he’s got good gate speed, can sit up on speed, and he can also take a little bit of a sit.
“He’s forward enough, fit enough, kicked off over 1300 metres last time, and he’s back to the 1200 metres, but he goes good fresh and he’s one of our nicest three-year-olds.”
