Amalfi to Spell for Autumn Riches
- Thursday, 12 September 2002 00:00
Victoria Derby winner Amalfi is again headed to
the paddock before a return to the track in the autumn carnival.The talented enzed bred galloper has pleased trainer Peter Moody with his current condition and he is confident he will make a successful return from injury.
"He's currently in my Brisbane stables," Moody said today. "But he is going out in the paddock for a spell soon."
"We will then bring him back for either weight-for-age or the better handicap style races," he added.
"He's a high class horse and I look forward
to him returning to the races," Moody told Cyberhorse.
Amalfi shot to prominence when he and Damien Oliver outgunned the roughie Zarek in last year's VRC Derby at Flemington.
That win followed an impressive lead up success in the Group Two Norman Robinson Stakes at Caulfield, where he swept past the leaders quickly to win nicely.
Moody is hoping his recent good run in Melbourne continues to Moonee Valley on Saturday when he saddles up his exciting three-year-old Schumpeter in the Carlton Draught Quality over 1600 metres.
Damien Oliver will be in the saddle of the Encosta de Lago youngster, who will have blinkers for the first time on the weekend.
