The Valley’s Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) will take centre stage on Friday alongside the Manikato Stakes, with a select field assembled for one of the track’s most storied races.
Past winners include legends such as Sunline, Northerly and Mr Brightside, and this year Pride Of Jenni is poised to make her highly anticipated return. The star mare will again be partnered by Declan Bates, 10 months after their split at the request of owner Tony Ottobre.
She’ll face stiff opposition from Group 1-winning colt Attrition and rising star Tom Kitten, while Treasurethemoment adds intrigue with Mark Zahra stepping in for the suspended Damian Lane.
With its rich history and a field boasting class and controversy, the Feehan Stakes promises to deliver another memorable chapter in Australian racing at The Valley.
