Expat jockey Mick Dee is set to return to one of his happiest hunting grounds, Ellerslie, with a full book of rides on Boxing Day headed by El Vencedor in the Gr. 1 Cambridge Stud Zabeel Classic (2000m).
“Her sprint was great, and the other asset to her is she loves a wet track, so we were quietly confident that she’d be fit enough and comfortable on that surface today. She’s proven that to be right.”
“We know Sans Doute likes that straight course at Flemington. Going up to 1200m is a slight question mark, but I think she’s relaxing much better now.”
