Pride of Jenni did something last week that hasn’t been achieved in nearly a quarter of a century – record a Group One double during Melbourne Cup Week – and breeders Brent and Cherry Taylor of Trelawney Stud couldn’t be prouder.
A week after a stunning all-the-way performance to win the Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) at Flemington, Pride Of Jenni returned to the course and distance to repeat the dose.
The front-running Kiwi-bred mare broke the hearts of her rivals under a daring Declan Bates ride to claim the Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) on Derby Day at Flemington, ahead of fellow Kiwi mares Atishu and Life Lessons.
