Star filly Autumn Glow is set to miss this Saturday’s Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) at Randwick, with trainer Chris Waller confirming the daughter of The Autumn Sun is likely to resume in the Listed Darby Munro Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on March 22.
Chris Waller Racing posted a statement on his behalf which read:
“After giving it a lot of thought, we have decided Autumn Glow isn’t quite at her peak fitness to be running first-up in the Group 1 Surround Stakes this Saturday,” said Waller.
“She trialed well on Monday morning, however, Saturday’s race has come up too quickly to expect her to be running at her best.
“She will most likely resume in the Darby Munro Stakes over 1200m on March 22.
“Running in this race gives us time to possibly give her another exhibition gallop or even a trial prior to that first-up run”
Autumn Glow was on the second line of betting at $5.00 with horse racing bookmakers prior to her withdrawal, while stable companion Lady Shenandoah holds the call at $1.70 in all-in markets.
