Jenni Lets Loose At The Valley

Media Release - Saturday August 23

Smart staying mare Jennivamoose recorded her third victory at The Valley when winning the Simpson Construction Handicap (2500m) in similar fashion to her previous victory at the venue.

Prepared by Ciaron Maher for Tony and Lynn Ottobre’s Cape Schanck Racing, Jennivamoose was dropped out to near the rear of the field by Harry Coffey and looped the field to narrowly get the better of Muktamil.

The daughter of Vadamos has now won five races from 14 starts and will now step up to stakes company.

“She’s on skates at the moment this mare, she is running awesome,” stable representative Tom Gerrard said.

“Harry has got a great relationship with her and she’s certainly heading places.

“That is how she tends to run best, she loves to spot a few leaders, she loves closing and having something to aim at.”

The Gr.3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington on September 13 now looms as the next step for the mare.

“We had it penciled in for a few of our runners today. I think Jennivamoose is the pick of them and will potentially be the one to go there,” Gerrard said.

Winning rider Harry Coffey said the victory was good especially with the rail out 5 metres.

“Even though she didn’t win by a big margin, there is plenty of merit there,” he said. “As she goes up in grade we might not be able to give them as much start as we did today.

“When they started to bunch up I knew I would have the best turn of foot, it was just about timing that. Tony (Ottobre) believes that she uses the bend really well here at The Valley, so I utilised that and accelerated off it and she got the job done.”

Coffey drew parallels with former stablemate High Emotion, who went on to win a Bendigo Cup and place in a Melbourne Cup.

“At the moment she is doing everything right. I think the race that’s coming up that everyone likes to have a go at is The Archer, so we will see how she fits in, but with today's win she will definitely get in the race,” he said.

Purchased as a yearling at Karaka by Ottobre from the draft of Rich Hill Stud for $110,000, Jennivamoose is out of the High Chaparral mare So Ard

Bred by Brisbane-based Rick Hill, So Ard is domiciled at Rich Hill Stud near Matamata and the mare is a half-sister to Gr.1 Irish Oaks (2400m) winner Even So and comes from a Group One winning family that features English Derby winner Dr Devious, The Oaks winner Dancing Rain, Guineas winner Saxon Warrior, and Takamatsunomiya Kinen winner Suzuka Phoenix.

Jennivamoose is a half-sister to the five-win mare Bozo, who finished fourth in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) in her Classic year. – NZ Racing Desk
