Azkadellia (NZ) (Shinko King {Ire}), winner of the G1 Coolmore Legacy S. at The Championships Apr. 9, is in “good order” ahead of her tilt at the G1 Doomben 10,000 May 28, trainer Ciaron Maher told Racing.com.
“She just got up to Brisbane, she's settling in there,” Maher told the site. “She had a freshen up, she had a week off and a week in the water walker, she put on a bit of condition and seems in good order. We'll head towards the 10,000 and maybe the [G1] Stradbroke [H. June 11].”
As for longer term goals, the G1 Cox Plate in October would seem an obvious one, but Maher said he would also take into consideration the invite Azkadellia earned to the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf for her win in the Legacy, a Breeders' Cup Challenge Series race.
“It's great to be qualified and invited, so we'll work out what we do with her,” Maher said. “There's a lot to digest so we'll just take it one step at a time.”
