Impeccably bred Group Two winner Zayydani (NZ) (Savabeel) has been retired following her game fourth placing in the Gr.3 Lord Mayor’s Cup (1800m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Innes at peace with retirement decision
A relaxing lunch with Kiwi trainers Tony Pike and Lance Noble was just the ticket for jockey Leith Innes on Sunday after a hectic 24 hours prior.

The consistent Falkirk gelding was originally carded to carry topweight of 59.5kgs, however with apprentice Faye Lazet claiming a vital 2kg allowance,…
