Racing: English import ready for Doomben

English import My Kingdom Of Fife maintained his unbeaten Australian record and earned Doomben Cup favouritism with a narrow victory in the Hollindale Stakes at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Ridden by Nash Rawiller, My Kingdom Of Fife edged out another former European Glass Harmonium by a long neck in Saturday's 1800m weight-for-age feature.

Perth stayer Scenic Shot, winner of the 2008 Hollindale Stakes was the same margin away third just in front of Melbourne's Heart Of Dreams.

Trainer Chris Waller wasn't getting carried away with the 6-year-old's victory which followed his Doncaster Prelude win and a brilliant victory in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick.

"He likes Australia and he's got every reason to," said Waller on Saturday. "It was a good ride from Nash and he's a dream horse - we're living the dream.

"He's very professional. He got going early and stuck on well."

Waller made it back-to-back wins in the Hollindale Stakes after Metal Bender's victory last year.

The trainer has his sights aimed at the spring carnival in Melbourne but has been warned by owner Richard Pegum not to look too far ahead.

Rob Willis and Mike Buys of Brisbane share in the ownership with Pegum who is a hedge fund manager in Sydney.

"I didn't buy him and Richard deserves that credit," Waller said.

"But we'll be plotting a course to the Doomben Cup and we'll wait and see later about the spring." Rawiller stopped short of saying he would continue his association with My Kingdom Of Fife during the spring.

"I've got a mare called More Joyous to ride then," he said.

"But he's a very good galloper and was very fresh today. We didn't want him to be too dour coming back in distance from his Queen Elizabeth win."

Jockey High Bowman was thrilled with the Australian debut of Glass Harmonium and was confident he could turn the tables on My Kingdom Of Fife in the Doomben Cup (2020m) on May 28.

"It was an excellent run and he's right on track for the Doomben Cup," Bowman said.

Military Rose has revived memories of her Magic Millions victory with a stunning return to form in the Gold Coast Guineas but the for sale sign is still nailed to her stable door.

Military Rose scored a five-length win in the 2010 Magic Millions and then secured favouritism for that year's Golden Slipper with a big win in the Riesling Stakes.

Her form tapered off after an unplaced Slipper effort and she was recently listed for sale in the broodmare sale in June by her trainer Gillian Heinrich and husband Hoss.

Military Rose led throughout premier jockey Dan Griffin but the win wasn't enough to encourage the Heinrichs to extend her career past June.

"She's done enough for us and she's my favourite horse but she's also a very valuable mare," Gillian Heinrich said.
