Tralee Rose will be aimed at either the Adelaide Cup or the Andrew Ramsden Stakes
Warrnambool mare Tralee Rose will be aimed at feature staying races after her runaway seven lengths victory in the Bagot Handicap which was the biggest win in that race this century.
Symon Wilde said he hadn’t trained a horse with the staying capabilities of the lightly raced mare and he wasn’t surprised by how she handled her first assignment at 2800 metres in the Group Three race.

With a choice Kiwi pedigree, she is something of a product of the past, but Tralee Rose stamped herself a stayer of the future following her seven-length blitz in Saturday’s Listed Bagot Handicap (2800m) at Flemington.
By Tavistock out of Zabeel mare Star Of Tralee, the four-year-old mare is to be set upon an autumn path that will earn her credits towards next spring’s Melbourne Cup with races such as the Adelaide Cup and Andrew Ramsden in her sights in the first half of 2021.
Then, well as trainer Symon Wilde said, Who knows? I’d be going to the Ramsden because clearly she’s better than an off-season staying horse and I’d be delighted if we could get her in (Melbourne Cup) because I know the graph is going up with her and by next spring she should be nearly at her peak, Wilde said.
