Kerrin McEvoy will miss the next two city meetings for a short family break, but he is eagerly anticipating the new season and reuniting with Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) winner Celestial Legend.
McEvoy was sidelined during the autumn after fracturing a vertebra in a fall on Golden Slipper Day, causing him to miss Celestial Legend’s Group 1 victory.
However, McEvoy will be back aboard the Les Bridge-trained colt this spring, and he is excited about the prospect.
“It will be nice to see how he can progress into being a four-year-old,” McEvoy said.
“It sounds as though he is going to be heading towards the Golden Eagle and maybe the King Charles [III Stakes at Randwick] before that. He’s exciting and he looks great. I had a couple of canters on him early in his prep and he feels great too.”
