Trainer David Vandyke has scrapped a spring campaign for his star mare Philia and is no rush to test her promising stablemate Acapulco Girl on the interstate stage.<\/p>\n
Philia was a star of the Queensland Racing Carnival winning four straight including the Listed Princess Stakes and Group 2 The Roses before falling short as favourite in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm in June.<\/p>\n
Vandyke then spelled her and hoped to chase spring riches in either Sydney or Melbourne.<\/p>\n
However, Vandyke, who has just returned from a short holiday in Thailand, has extended her spell which rules her out of the spring.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe had been in work for a year and I just thought she needed a longer break,\u201d Vandyke said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t want to rush her so I\u2019ve chosen to miss the spring and she\u2019ll come back in time for the autumn next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Vandyke believes Acapulco Girl has a bright future but also won\u2019t rush her after she contests the Class 3 Plate over 1350 metres at Doomben on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Her stablemate Antonito also was an acceptor for the Class 3 but was scratched after drawing wide while Lucifer\u2019s Way also drew a wide gate but will start in the Benchmark 65 Handicap over 1110 metres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Glenn Davis Trainer David Vandyke has scrapped a spring campaign for his star mare Philia and is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-92975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
