Ciaron Maher is confident that his star mare, Pride Of Jenni, can manage a seven-day turnaround from the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes (1600m) to the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) in October.
The seven-year-old, a three-time Group 1 winner and the reigning All-Star Mile (1600m) champion, is being aimed at the King Charles III Stakes.
However, her trainer believes she could secure both prestigious titles within a week.
“I think she will (run in both),” Maher told Racing.com.
“You never know, but she’s coming up very well, so everything is on the table at the moment.
“Yes (she can win both). Gai (Waterhouse) did it and won the Thousand Guineas, so it’s about what sort of run you have.
“If you have a gut-buster, it’s going to make it tougher. You’ve got to have her right to go first-up, and so that makes the job a bit easier.
“If you are trying to play catch-up, if she’s running like she does and trying to build fitness, it makes the job a lot harder.”
